Welcome back to the hobby!!!

Overall the TRX4 is a solid RC, its biggest failing is its steering servo. The body is very detailed, but also very heavy, but is fine if you are not looking for dedicated comp rig (C2). Traxxas is supposed to be producing a kit version soon, and a very good looking Bronco body.

The bomber kit is way better than the wraith, looks cooler too (IMO)

The TRX-4 is a great entry back into this segment of the hobby! It's good and is only going to get better as the aftermarket starts supporting it more than it already has.

Get the Trx-4, upgrade all the underpowered servos, and swap the body for something lightweight and you'll be good to go!

go to youtube and type in the truck you are looking for and watch videos...I've probably watched more vids than anything else with trying to learn about these trucks. The TRX-4 looks like a fun truck..I don't think you'll go wrong by picking one up
