I personally own the ct5, it's quite nice.
I think people under-estimate its power and abilities...
The car is very nice, in person.
I can get pics for ya...I'll make a thread this week...check it out.
They are EXTREMELY fast...I'm not into Traxxas...so I got the CT5.
HPI and Traxxas are jsut recognized more...when you get it...you'll be very happy.
