Programable ESC with program box is a nice touch. Floppy bed looks weird, but if you install the bumpers that would probably fix that. Wipers can be had, but it would have been nice if they had included them. I like that the body is true 1/10 scale, I wish other manufacturers would do the same ( in the real world most smaller truck's tires stick out a little). The chassis twist looks a little odd, but I think it may actually help get over obstacles.
