I only ask as Ive had mine for around 4 months and I am still disappointed with it. I have rebuilt it 4 times, changed front/rear diff settings, motors and springs etc and it still behaves on the track poorly.
Its noisy, glitchy and has no chance against similar models on a high bite track.

Any other racers care to comment?
It's mostly all about tires tires tires with this car

You haven't listed your set up. Spell it all out and I think someone can get you going. I ran my car last weekend and it is seriously fast and nimble and I'm really looking forward to the ABC mini series that will soon kick off next month

Here is a race with my cup racer from last year if you haven't already seen;

+ YouTube Video

Also some good news regarding the plastic front input cup. We've developed an alloy hard anodized cup that will be here late August!
