 Fast little sucker Aug 20, 2009
By Austin Guy 2005
Comes mostly assembled so it was up and running in a matter of minutes -- took it out on the street and it zooms up the block in no time (suprised me how fast it was). First time out in the street I must have gotten some interference on the controller or something because the car ended up going 30 MPH into a curb drainage hole! Luckily I could take the manhole cover off and recover it, and NO problems with the car.. Still ran like a champ (NOTE: I might have been responsible for the driving into the drainage hole, but I'm a seasoned remote control car operator and had over 3 minutes behind the wheel before this horrible accident!)..
Likes:
Super Fast!
Turns on a dime!
Has reverse!
4 wheel drive!
Dislikes:
Range on the remote could be better (luckily it stops by itself when it goes out of range)

Seven months on, still going strong Sep 25, 2008
By Ron Morris
"Ron Morris"
This car will really surprise you the first time you fire it up. It has lightning acceleration, and a top speed that would have dogs and bicycles eating its dust. It's a blast to play with.
When I first purchased the car, seven months ago, I was a little discouraged about losing a piece from my front shock absorber, on one of my first outings. The manufacturer offers many replacement parts, but they are high in price, and the part that fell off my car was going to cost me ten bucks. I fabricated a fix out of some epoxy putty, and then bought a spare parts car.
Since then, I've ran and ran this car, and it has functioned flawlessly, and held up marvelously to all of my abuse. The only real problem I've had with the car is a stripped differential gear; a result of me tightening the diff too much in an attempt to get some wheelie action. My recommendation is to leave the diff at the factory setting, and not to bother trying to get wheelies out of this car (the weight distribution is just too balanced to wheelie).
One of the best things I've learned during this time is that when the car does need a replacement part, you can save some money by taking advantage of cross-compatibility with the Associated RC18t on some parts. Shock absorbers and differentials are two examples where the RC18t part will work on the Megapro. The benefit here is that parts for the RC18 are about one third the price of the Megapro. Do a little research before you buy.
Overall, I'm completely satisfied with this car. Great fun!

 Mega Problems May 06, 2009
By Little Wells
I received my 'buggy' a little over a month ago. First few times I ran it with no problems. Within a week, the front strutpost had broke (mainly due to me running it into a tire), both of the front shocks had popped open and fell off. I also had one of the axles break while just driving in a straight line, and not hitting anything. Finally after receiving most of my replacements parts in the mail to include a new steering motor (that had broke) and one of the upgrade motors I put everything back together and ready for a test run. The receiver box got extreamly hot just moments after pluging the battery back in. Now it will not back up at the same rate that it will drives forward. Its lucky to back up at all. With all the problems aside, I enjoy the car when it is running. A few of the guys that I live/work with have asked me to get them one, but I keep putting it off for I have spent more money on parts than I did on the whole thing, and I still need more parts to just keep it running. If you have what it takes to keep replacing stuff, and do not mind doing it, this is a good car.

 this thing flys Jun 25, 2008
By C. Boston
This R/C car bombs. I bought it just to have a little fun, but was blow away to see how fast it goes. The included charger takes 10 hours to charge, so you'll want to pick up the fast charger which is around [...]. If you can drop the money, its worth it!

Fast, fun and durable, but avoid gutters at all costs! Aug 30, 2008
By Stephen J
I only just got this car three days ago, and had to wait until we had a dry day, but today I finally got to try it out - wow! It is pretty crazy fun stuff. It's very fast (rated top speed out of the box is 25 mph - I don't know if it makes that or not, but it is definitely fast.) I also found it to be durable as I sure had some spectacular crashes quite a few times and, while ending up with some scrapes, it is working perfectly still. Then, in what can only be described as a moment of true horror, it was driven straight into a gutter! Poof! - it disappeared. I was pretty distraught for hours afterward but later, in a moment of inspiration, I ran down the cellar and fashioned a "fishing line" out of some sort of gear in my kids tackle box that I have no idea what it is for - a piece of rope with a long aluminum piece on the end which I bent into a crude hook, went gutter fishing and managed to get it back! I can't tell you how happy I was right then - and the car, though disheveled, was still working great. This is a fantastic little radio control car. Highly recommended, but do yourself a favor and keep it away from gutters.
