After testing it, what's your impression with the strike's durability? I noticed the arms look overly beefy (not a bad thing). I think the chassis looks good too. Is there any one thing that stands out as possibly being a weak link?
Durability didn't seem to be an issue, like I mentioned in the close of the video. As I mentioned in the video the servo saver backed off which I remedied easily with Losi Loc thread lock. The slipper also needed to be tightened after about 3-4 runs and all the parts had seated.

Yeah I saw that, but that's just normal stuff. I was wondering if you think the trans could be weak, or the chassis, or bulkhead, or whatever. Looks like the stike will end up being my first entry into the sct world.

I love how you incorporated the talks on here into the video. That was pretty funny.

I'm confused. Black chrome are option and regular chrome come with the kit or the other way around? All the pics in the gallery show regular chrome wheels.

Hey guys, I've got the link here for the full review now. If the mods would like me to delete this as it might be seen as "advertising" I'll do so. the difference between this and just the video is the fact that there's more of a recap in text and more in-depth track notes too.

It's actually the flash from the camera. They're the same as what you see in the video.

I actually copied/pasted that on 3-4 forums. One has been a particular challenge. I didn't figure it would be an issue but still wanted to throw it out there.
