Traxxas LaTrax Desert Prerunner 1/18 4WD RTR Short Course Truck (Red)
The car is great but it breaks SO easily. The pins holding the front suspension arms fall out with just basic driving. I probably have to find it on the street and unscrew and put it back in every 5 minutes of use. The shocks are very, very thin plastic and broke on day 1. I'm not even sure if it's worth buying the upgraded shocks when they are back in stock or just calling this car a loss and starting over with something else. (And I bought 2 so I could race with my son!)
