Not so much people run it, so I can't find any posts regarding how good or bad
it actually is compare to a 12R.1 or CRC.
I don't take it's results at the worlds either, Matsukura is crazy fast whatever car he runs.
Yes, I like running the car but there are a few buts.
- The original shocks leak pretty bad. Using the asso plastic inside parts helps a lot but isnt perfect. 1 shock rebuild/ day instead of 1 every 3 batteries.
I converted mine to a hotbodies center shock, 2 dampertubes and am not using the front shock
- The front end is nice and works very well, but the preload is set with screws. Its very difficult to get this perfect (you cant measure this... mine is 0.2mm off left to right), but this will affect handling greatly!
- Yokomo tires arent really great ( I guess except for asphalt), but Mobgums now offer jaco tires on yokomo rims.
- Dump the battery holders so you can set the battery completely to the schock tower.
But the car runs really great when once setup correctly! And its a beauty
