personaly i hated mine. it was a tuning nightmare. no true "base setup".
i just got lost in it and sold it. not to mention the tolerances are too tight.

be wary of the instruction manual, and throw out the loctite thats included, it's red and they tell you to use it everywhere.

It is mostly going to be a basher as i have no time to race but i might take it to the track once in awhile.

It calls for a saddle pack, anyway of running a standard lipo in it?
I really like the price, It would make a great weekend runner.
I don't race so it would get light use. Price point is why I am considering it.

making this a basher is like turning an Enzo into a car to fetch the bread at the bakery... more a source of frustration than anything else. It's a racecar, even if it's the "detuned" one...
New car likely coming up after the worlds
