the kit quality was good with a relativly easy build. and having used it since as well isnt wearing fast or anything (as would normally be expected with a cheaper kit)

so from me it is highly recomended
Thanks for all the responses.

How would you describe the handling? I'm basically a beginner driver so dont want anything that is going to cause too much trouble for me! Fast and planted is what springs to mind with easy setup. Also what battery, motor and ESC are you running?

You mention you built yours I didnt know there was a kit version - only RTR or the rolling chassis..?

Ideally would like to start racing but from speaking to my local hobby shops most of the local tracks (Derby ish) are more suited to 1/8th cars. Dont really want to go the nitro route as from experience I know it's not for me......hence 1/8th brushless.

Seems like Caster could be the way to go...some hop ups are on their way I believe and Peter at Answer rc has been great at responding to my emails. Maybe time to part with some cash soon!

Before that happens though what are the obvious alternatives to the fusion...for the price are there any?

Thanks in advance again.
