I finally got the car and ran it two weeks ago. It ran great, though my speed controller was the limiting factor. I was running the old Sphere and Novak 17.5 while everybody else had the Sphere Comp. with a 17.5. I enjoy the car. I was able to pull off more consistant laps after being out of racing since the week before Thanksgiving of last year. I will be looking forward to see what the car will do when I finally put in a real esc. The car is awsome.
