Out of curiosity as I'm looking at the 48.3 What do you mean by twitchy ? You mean you don't have traction even in straight lines ? Or is it the rear going loose in the corners ?

I have a tekno .3 the car is not loose in the rear or anything has very good traction and steering but i do feel the car is twitchy....biggest challenge for me is to drive a full race without mistakes...car handles great, just feels like a damn 1/12th scale, this is on an indoor highbite clay track....i personally think the car will be better outside where it wont be as twitchy from the high traction levels..

Default Semi Bashing

Which one for someone building their first kit? Not for racing; just going to parks and having fun. I had a Mugen 6 M-Spec, but that was a rolling chassis and I sold it before I ever broke anything. So I wouldn't know much about repair. For the price I'm kind of eyeing the TLR 8ight 3.0; even though it doesn't have the larger bearing all the way around.. Would it fit my needs? Also seems to be a lot of after market parts available for repairs after breakage. Thoughts?

Which is your favorite and why?
I am looking for a new buggy, but here in Europe/Germany we have lots of high grip astro tracks and 90% drive a mugen and i dont like it when everyone hase the same.....
