Welcome Way, I have an ECX Amp myself, it was my first RC vehicle. It's a novice RC but not bad for someone just getting started.
Once you start upgrading it, look out, that truck will move and turn on a dime (my opinion with right upgrades). I have 24 RC's and I the most fun with my Amp. I run my Amp (and all my vehicles) on Gen Ace 3S 7000 mAh hard case batteries and Castle 4600 series motors. I do a lot of upgrading and experimenting with these vehicles, that's what this hobby is all about. All steel gearing, Hot Racing suspension parts (when available), body lifts, ect.
Have fun and enjoy the hobby. Here's some pics of my Amp and a couple more ECX vehicles.
