I had a very very good one as my every day driver.
It was fine- did 40k in 2 years.
It was chipped and ran 16 psi max, spax suspension and mongoose exhaust.
I drove it very hard and was disapointed if it didn't go "off the clock" each time I drove it.
Broke 2 gearboxes - but that was down to how hard I drive.
Was absolutely fine... but you need to buy a good one.
Make sure you look VERY hard at any RST and if you think sub 2.5k is acceptable as a price for an everyday motor - think again.
