That is damn cheap compared to the ones i've been looking at (Perth Hobby Centre, Stanbridges).

Since i've never controlled an even remotely fast RC car before, i'm thinking 40-50kph is more than enough for me, but was looking at buggy-style (mostly cause i had an infatuation with "Fast Traxx" when i was younger). That Lancer is appealing though! (perhaps because i drive the watered down Lancer in real life :P) How long does a fully charged battery last?

From what i've read (and thus limited knowledge), i can't discern much difference between a Traxxas or Duratrax low-end model and the one you pointed me to (at least not enough to justify 3 times the price!). Is it durability/off road cabability or brand name?
