Just got my Bezgar 3 the other day. Used it quite a bit already. I'm pretty hard on these things, and so far so good! It's quick, responsive, and easy to use; battery life about 20 mins/charge. I love the battery change process. Remove two clips from the back, and the body flips forward, then swap the 2 large AA-shaped batteries...easy. It's got an extra (real part) wheel for decoration until actually needed. Axles are plastic, but seem strong...time will tell. Fast but not too fast, handles well, speed limiter on remote, and easy to change battery make it a good beginner RC for younger kids. Goes well on concrete, low grass, dirt, mulch, pine needles, and gravel well, a little heavier on the back which allows it to jump a ramp pretty well. It does have a tendency to flip if you get too crazy with it, but practice makes perfect. So far, I like this RC pretty well. This is the second Bezgar I have.. Their support folks are remarkably engaged and helpful...just wouldn't expect that from an RC company. Def worth a shot!
