Yes, it had crazy brakes that way, but I couldn't get comfy in the tight stuff. Set the clicker to clicking, and that solved it. It doesn't drive like other sc10s this way, as it doesn't need to be finessed, it can be chucked. My buddy has a regular SC10 4x4, no locker and not clicking, and we can pretty much cut and weave all over the track dead even. Mine's just more sideways. He can brake harder and later, but I'm pitched sideways and stuck down low in front of him already due to my acceleration into the turn (sometimes....when it goes well....). Regardless, I have fun with the truck when it's working, and it can battle tooth and nail as is, so I'm fine with it.
I have the exo front lockout and have the clicker locked down and I can turn my truck on a dime. We have several tight 180s - one at the end of the our straight. I can go full speed down the straight, nail the brakes (back wheels have come off the ground a couple of times), and flip right around the corner right on the inside of the pipes (actually have a little too much steering most of the time).

But as they said, it is what you like. I love the way it pulls out with the lockout.

Snapped a CVA pin right before the first qualifier Saturday and of course - shop didn't have parts so no racing for me.
