It steers better than the mp9 especially on corner exit. It isn’t loose like a pillow ball car though. You can actually drive it instead of tossing it into a corner.

It is not even a c hub car. The fuel tank looks similar but that is about it. Front end is some kind of thunder tiger eb4 clone. Maybe they bought the tooling from ttr or whoever made parts for Crono.
