As I recall, the sst tore up the tracks around here when the only other competition was from the old YOK (very $$$), the HPI pro(kid's stuff, but still better than the pro 2), the express cars, and the FSR Bullet (where did they go??). Then when the axis came around everyone was abuzz with the TC3 and new Yok (mr4), which lasted through the axis 2. So the Axis cars never got the recognition/attention they where due. Now the excitement has died down there should be many eyes on the mission, with the only "mainstream" new car being the XXX-s, the mission should get the respect it deserves......
Please remember I am from the right coast......LOL
