We all know Maifield is a great driver. We also have seen it proved that the truck excels on indoor high bite tracks. I mean come on, the rear end steers even on high bite and factory drivers like those rear ends to rotate. The didnt race on a fluffy outdoor 8th scale track and if they did it would have been a new story probably. I have run this truck on both indoor high bite and low-med grip outdoor. I have seen the truck win on both, but I find is very hard to drive on the later. But I am not a pro, but i would have gotten a losi if i had it to do over again. Or get a RC8.2B. I see guys at my track that take crap care of their losis, use baling or the wrong tires and still finish 3rd in the mains. They are being beat by AE's, but the AE drivers are pretty fast local guys. The losi guys I am thinking of use duck tape and bubble gum to keep the trucks running and still place. They just point and shoot and keep the trigger fulled. As WC say, they just punch it everywhere.
