I have the T-Maxx with a Yellow H2 body.
Serious "toy". I sort of bought it on a whim and was pretty surprised at how cool they are compared to the old, cheap, battery type remote control cars (not talking e-maxx here, which is a whole world better electric). When they say it will do 40MPH they are not kidding. You run it in to someone and you will do damage.
Sure enough you can just as easily get carried away with mods in toy world as you can in the real world. I ended up getting all kinds of titantium this and titanium that. Friggin crazy. Some guys spend $1000's on these RC's.
Having bought a gas powered one I would probably get an electric if I did it again. Simply because I don't really use it all that often and the gas models are a bit tempramental.
