That's what I'd mainly be concerned about, parts support. Right now they don't have any listed, and if they ever do list some it's likely to be in the China warehouse. So you could be out for 1-3 weeks at a time when something breaks. An option would be buying 2 and using one as a parts vehicle, but at that point for the cost of vehicles and shipping you're looking at $400+ so it would make more sense to just buy a Slash 4x4 and have parts available just about anywhere.
