Not sure about thr RC trucks, but Wile E. Coyote never had much luck with
their other products.

plastic does not have to be bad. its just depends on the sort of plastics
they use.
so dont judge the car because of that.

Are you sure it's plastic and not a composite? Composites can be better
than metals in some applications! Thank God the Savie has lots of comp.
parts! I have hit a 6" fence post at full bore, head on and not done damage
that has ended the day. If it was made of aluminium it would NOT have
bounced, it would have looked like a pretzel! I'm sure the composite didn't
much appreciate the hit either, though!
