A great kit comes assembled but you have to disassemble to install components. Down side is that the motors recommended by HK are too long by 2mm to fit completely all the way into housing necessitating the leaving off the covers which means one shock mount is not fully supported. Also the paint needs to be removed from the motors as they are too tight a fit. The description leaves out the important information that you need 2 pinion gears 8t for 2mm shaft (not available in oz warehouse). One last point i found with mine you have to reverse polarity of one motor to have them both run in same direction. As previously mentioned by someone else an esc with no brake is preferred so you can rock when stuck. Final comment a cool machine a lot of fun and if you want some zap high performance scale electric slot car motors and pinions will fit.

Great quality vehicle, bargain for the price. Note, mine arrived fully assembled. So don't assume you'll receive a kit

Highly recommend this as it gives hours of fun! Buy the 4ch radio gear not the car one.. as it gives you independent control of the front/rear steering but there is very minimal room for the receiver as I had to mount my little orange rx park flyer receiver with cable ties to the back (looks more rugged anyway)

Glad I didn't buy the RTR version as the independent steer is soo much better than a friends RTR version.

NOTES:
-Make sure you order the 2 piece 130 motors with the pinion gears not the basher torque motors as they do not come with pinion gears.
-Get the 4ch heli/plane transmitter!! you wont regret it! Tip: you can wiggle the back independantly on the fly to increase traction
-Try to get a ESC without brake, the brake just stops you from being able to reverse quickly, there is plenty of torque from the gears and motors to stop it on its own.

Strong crawler. I have 2pcs its great car and verry funny. But buy 2or3 Internal Gears because wheel is susceptible to breakage. (transmission is susceptible to breakage). HF

Its pretty neat, but I think the kit is a poor value. I ordered all of the recommended items to go with it, but I had to create a y-harness for the speed controller because it only had a single output and the kit has dual motors. Additionally, I was under the impression that I could easily do 4 wheel steering. I could, but it was difficult to switch between steering the same direction vs opposite directions. I fried a servo trying to figure it out and now I only have front steering. All in all, its not bad and was very fun to play with, but it would be awesome if the parts for the RTR were fully available for the kit builders (including wiring harnesses or whatever).
