See I am the opposite on GS products. I had a storm buggy and ran with 2 friends who had storm truggies. We never broke anything. My one friend broke a few suspension parts when he ran full speed into a fence post but that is about it. Now at the time they were good.... but not raceable now. This one may be different.... but it looks like a fairly similar setup. The only way to tell will be to wait and see if any locals get it.
Now..... if you will just be bashing with maybe an occasional visit to the track I would look into a very nice, used, lightning stadium pro. They were great racers about 6-8 months ago maybe, and are bombproof for bashing. (Aluminum arms and everything.) If you PM Rocco on here he may have a nice one he can set you up with.
If you plan on racing you should look at least into the Jammin, if not the Kyosho, Mugen, or Losi 8 based truggy. These will run you a decent amount more (not the Jammin so much) but will put you right in the scene for truggy racing. If you will be racing, and have the additional time, money, and knowledge, then buy a kit and build it up. If you want to get out there and run and kind of learn as you go, then pick up a RTR. It will not have as many factory upgrades as the kit, but will be a lot cheaper in the end.
Good luck, and welcome to the forums.
