I picked one of these up as a Christmas present for my child, I have to say,
it is a very nice car. I am very surprised at how well it runs and handles.
A few years back I had a Kyosho Baha buggy and it didn't even come close to
the performance of this car. I am a airplane guy so I have not had a car for
about 5 years or so, have they all improved this much? The Baha buggy was
constant trouble and it took a ten acre field to turn the thing in. The
Evader will turn instantly and so far only one minor break down.

In general, the RC market is much better than before. Keep in mind that
Tamiya has never been known for chasing the "bleeding edge" of technology.
They tend to do high-quality, nicely detailed models that are at least
one generation back in technology.

I do think that the Duratrax brand is giving some of the more
established manufacturers a real fight in the bang-for-the-buck
category. Again, it's probably a loss leader for Great Planes, but
it's one of their ways to squeeze the other manufacturers to get them
to be aggressive with prices.
