Just got my Rapide 2016 earlier this week and was able to throw it down today for some laps. Wow, what a difference. Set it up almost per instruction settings using kit parts only and this thing far exceeded my old SP1 and older F104 X1. Best F1 chassis I've owned thus far. Running Tekin 25.5 with RS gen 2 ESC, Pit 571/575 tires and protoform F2013 body with Tamiya F2012 front/rear wings, 50wt shock oil, 20k damper oil. Geared 68/22 3.09fdr. May be a little slow yet but I was the only car practicing so I had no comparison. But handling and stability were amazing. Can't wait for the fall/winter season
