It's ok as a starting point but the car suffers from grip roll sometimes,
I would opt for the losi mini 8ight or an lrp shark,
Also you will need to take into account the fact that parts for the ftx blaze and the lrp shark are no longer easy to get, losi parts are very easy to get,

Don't forget the Cariama GT14B, which is also a great racer.

Loads of set-up and general info on both cars can be found over on the micro forum: www.uk-microrc.co.uk
