I love it! My buddy helped me unbox and test it so I could take pics and document. All the batteries were charged ahead of time, look for those in the upright sections. The charger is in the parts bag.Honestly DeeRC has been stepping their packaging game up and this is a definite winner! The Amazon box wasn't damaged but the DeeRC box had 2 good "something went into that" type of holes/dents but inside everything was perfect!It's not a speed demon being brushed on the 2S Lion batteries, but it's a fun little one. **Something to note, new battery connector with no balance lead so it won't work with most batteries if you're a DeeRC fanboy like myself. They do click and lock the connection though so that's a win. I have the old brushless version of this truck essentially, and the brushless 1:14th version (i love the bodies & the clip retaining rubber/silicone tie downs). This is just for putzing around, it would be great if I had a kid so I could run my brushless and this as they look IDENTICAL aside from scale. Cool truck! Doesn't do wheelies, maybe with some reverse then forward action as it does have metal gears and lower torque/speed so it should be fine.The beauty of these little guys is their durability! Less mass, less smash when you crash. With this things lower speed it's probably just about indestructible.It does all the fun low speed stuff, donuts and such. We didn't take it offroad, but the shocks were suprisingly soft just from asphalt fun. My GPS speedo was out of commission so no speed to report but I'll be honest if you were exciting waiting for the speed, this is not the truck for you. But if you want something to get a younger kid into the hobby and their relatives don't already have 1:10th scale stuff, this is what you're looking for! The only issues I've run into were from crashes at high speed, my low speed units are TANKS!
