I must admit... these trucks will soon be retired. The infinitive had a lot of broken parts throughout its running career, while the Caldera was better in durability, but a hobbytown usa employee said redcat racing is inferior to traxxas. The same employee recommended the velineon stampede 4x4 as the replacement. Because of that, my standards changed. I should have known traxxas was better. But please, do not comment with something that says 'I told you so' etc. It adds insult to injury.

On a lighter note, I saved $100 dollars in my new truck fund. I am also looking at the helion invictus as an alternate choice. You can put encouraging comments to help me save more money if you want.

The other truck I am looking at is the traxxas stampede 4x4 vxl which costs more but is another possible choice.
