One thing I didnt like about it was the turn buckles. They are very small. I ended up investing in some Lunsford turn buckles. These arent really needed... just a convenience for the setup board.
will be driving my Photon this weekend along with the E4RSll and will decide what I like better. As of now... I'm leaning on the Black Magic

For Jamison: Fastest lap with the car was 10.2.

Could be an indicator of where TM is heading with everything, not all that surprising given the brand barely is still even there.

Any issues I had on the track was form the driver... ot the car. Vids should be posted on Debbies RC World later this evening. I started in last place and running the TM body.
