lol.. mantle?? heck last weekend I won a long jump competeion (50' 6" jump) with it and a hill climb course too in a local rc Truck competition. I even just got home from the track too so its filthy dirty right now. Its not shelf queen at all.

It jumps great and handles even better. weight isn't bad either. its about 10.5 lbs and after I get lighter bulkheads it should be right about 10 lbs. I'm very happy with it now and it holds up to serious power without a problem. I got sick of breaking tranny's every couple months so I went to the hybrid setup.
