A local fast guy can still win with one at our local track and there are many fast guys he races against. I'm not so sure that weight makes a huge difference with a tc. Don't you get more traction with a heavier car? But, I guess you give up steering in the faster corners. I really wish Losi would improve the XXX-S if not for the R.T.R. kits. It's the last of the tub chassis and street basher belted car out there.
I love this car. When I take a spring time break for street bashing with a 4.5 brushless and 4800 lipo battery pack.
