Wow... I didn't realize that you guys were so anti-storm. I would be the one he is trading with so I figured I would get a look. I have to say I'm not sure where the durability arguments are coming from. I have never proken ANYTHING on the buggy. 3 of my friends have the truggy (heavier but still the same just bigger wheels and different towers). They launch them over and over again off of ramps into drainage ditches, off of banners tied to fences to make ramps, anything. The only thing I ever saw them break was the rear bumper and the battery box. (The earlier storms were recalled because they used a brittle plastic... this was all changed and all of the more recent storms use a stronger plastic.)
As for it being on the bottom of the food chain... I don't know about that. The thing is that it just does not have as much tuning potential as a higer end mugen or kyosho. I changed the shock towers to aftermarket ones with more adjustability and it has been all that I ever needed.
