You are correct. The truggy was indeed a generation behind. The few Z01-T SG prototypes that were being raced around the country were MUCH better, and on par with Losi and Mugen at that time (perhaps even just a tick better).
I've still got my Z01-T, but I don't run it anymore. I'm keeping it in case my son wants to move up to Nitro when he gets older. It won't be the fastest truck, but it's strong, durable as heck, and with all the parts I have, there's no way I could buy him a comparable setup with the money I would get by selling everything.
