Anderson: have you heard of them?

[SKGTR]

I bought my Anderson "Legend Elite" at a model exopo when I was 14. I stayed up all night trying to put it together (it came 90% pre-built) and finally got it together. I painted the body, slapped it on, and fired up the tiny .12 powerplant. I blipped the throttle and jammed full on it...I ended up crashing it into the curb and putting it down for a week. After that, the motor never ran right (duh, no break in) and the car was in a constant state of disrepair. So, my question is: has anyone else dealt with Anderson? If so, experiences good, bad, so-so?

Anderson makes the Duratrax Mini Quake. I bought the Anderson version, the MRX4, because it came as a kit. I like it and have had no problems. The only problem with Anderson would be finding parts, but since I can buy Duratrax parts there is no problem.
