its actually faster than it looks, im running 10% in it at the moment, and it runs a very respectable stock 70kph, with a new engine ill reach 85-90 with no trouble, the only thing is the breaks are quite touchy, you need to adjust them very well. I love it! I want to buy a shell for it but cant find anywhere.
It'll be starring in some movies that will be on Perth RC Productions site soon [ www.freewebs.com/perthrcpro

one of the only problems with it, is theres not many hop-ups for it, theres offroad suspension and some other things

Considering how space is a premium in alot of areas, I am suprised these 1/10 scale 4wd nitro buggies haven't gotten more attention next to the 1/8 scales.
Put some good .18 motors in there and watch them fly, power to weight ratio should be something to see.
How well does this handle over track style terrain?
I have been looking at Academy's offering, the Velox XB but I know someone else who likes Tamiya stuff who would be interested in this.

any terrain this can handle, its fu***** great! the scale is great, wouldnt want any bigger. I reccomend to anyone - the power to weight ratio with the .15 engine is something around .36 i think. im installing a .21 engine soon so the p to w will fly!
