Typically, when you go with offbrand, you'll be spending more money in the long run than you would up front with a typical brand you'll find at an LHS. Most offbrand RCs are made with cheap plastic, horrible design flaws and typically break with regular use/wear and tear. Their parts can also be a pain the arse to locate; if they even make spares, which most of the time they don't.

If I were you, I would just save up and purchase an brand you know and trust; Traxxas, Team Losi, Team Associated, HPI, DuraTrax, etc. They're not unGodly expensive when you sit down and plan it all out; plus they'll last you a lot longer and there are loads of aftermarket hopups for them while your offbrand will probably be stock forever.

To be on topic, I've never even heard of that. It looks a lot like a DuraTrax MiniQuake design, though.
