do the handle well?

cheers
Its difficult to say.... the last off road car I raced was a Losi XXX which I must say, from distant memory (its been about ten years since I last raced off road) handled the bumps & undulations more predictably - but then i've only raced so far this year on fully astro-turfed tracks & I'm not used to this type of surface - the tracks I used to race on were more commonly on grass & dirt with the odd small patch of Astro. The RC10's narrower track & shorter wheelbase certainly is a dissadvantage on this high grip surface compared with the new breed of 2wd buggies, but then people that have watched the car on track say it doesn't look completely out-classed - & with an increase in my own confidence (& ability) should see it finish higher 8)

P.S; its bl**dy rapid with a 6.5 brushless in!!!! :twisted:

well a losi xx is may main racer. a schumacher sponsered driver had a go last weeknd and he said he couldnt belive how well it handles and he said he was stunned how easy it was to drive.

I had a Losi XX before the TripleX - I prefered the earlier car and i'm not suprised that they can still 'cut the mustard' now... think you'll find the RC10 trickier to drive than the Losi.

Yes i've got the B4 slipper on my car - seems to be holding up ok so far!

Edit; here's the link to the build on my car :wink:
