stay away from traxxas products

for those thinking about getting a nice new traxxas product be advised DONT. i recently received a traxxas stampede vxl as a gift roughly 2 to 3 weeks ago and the brushless system in it is already dead, it powers up but doesnt run motor. also it has ran so hot that it burned me and this was with the stock out of the box gearing.

i contacted traxxas and they expect me to pay 50.00 + 5.00 s&h for them to repair/replace it when it should still be under warranty

second thing is the plastics are so flexible on this truck that they bend like spaghetti body mounts are already tweeked badly. do yourselves a favor and buy a good high quality associated, or losi vehicle.
