I got just the upgrade version with the steel gears and plastic tracks. It went most anywhere I wanted it to. Only thing that held it back really was traction. I have since upgraded to metal tracks and the 390s motors. You'll enjoy it, believe me. I will for sure purchase more from Motion RC.

Good, but problematic
Barrel elevator broke almost immediately and suspension was very stiff, it has taken months to fix most problems.
