my LXX's are excellent, especially for the money, i only paid $10 or so on ebay and they're good. i use them as both a source for cheap spare parts and trying mods, and also for the racing...they come with a 3.0 motor, and the transmitter can handle high quality batteries like duracell ultras, thay handle all upgrades as good as any tomy,theyre basically like tomy's in my eyes minus the name and the $$$$$$$.but still i do like my upgraded to poop tomy WRX
