I have this car and can highly recommend it as an entry to the RC hobby. This car is a basher, so it's best suited to off road driving. It's fast, brushless and really tough. Almost impossible to break compared to more fragile competitors like the WLToys 144001 (which I also have). The down side is that it doesn't handle as well on road. This car does it's best work on dirt, gravel etc. It goes well on short grass, but being a relatively small RC car, isn't the best in long grass. It's also great for kids since the throttle is adjustable and it's super tough.
Spare parts are readily available through Banggood, Ali, Ebay, Amazon etc, but I'm yet to replace anything on mine except the wheels. Note that HBX 16889a Pro parts are all compatible.
Good price for this car with 2 lipo batteries included. Note that this car is exactly the same as the HBX 16889a Pro but with a different body. That car is also on sale, but is slightly more expensive (US$108.99 ~ AU$159.15) and with only one lipo. https://au.banggood.com/HBX-16889A-Pro-1-or-16-2_4G-4WD-Brus…

The included charger is rubbish. Good charger recommendations here: https://www.quadifyrc.com/rccarreviews/a-better-charger-for-…
Hit me up with questions.
Edit: Coupon code BGRCT10 gives an additional discount of about A$4. Thanks d4devil.
Man I haven't owned or operated an RC car since I was a kid. I can imagine them nowadays with lithium batteries to be in a whole other league of power.
