I purchased an AMP MT for my son

He beats the crap out of it and nothing has broken after 2 weeks of daily driving

I read reviews saying this truck isn't very fast, but for him (and me!!) being new to the rc hobby grade trucks, it is surprisingly fast

You can really get into some upgrades with all the aluminum parts and going to a brushless system but if you plan on that just buy the stampede VLX or something higher end

After the first few runs, we set it to the training mode and have actually had more fun as it is easier to control at 50% power

This truck has lots of power in stock full speed settings it is hard to keep the front tires on the ground, but with the XL-5 having 3 settings (100% power forward and reverse, 100% power forward no reverse and 50% power forward and reverse training mode) It was very easy for him to get good at the controls without having to much power
