Only 4x4 sc ive ever driven was a friends scte rtr and that thing handled pretty well except in the air, If you let off the throttle it would land on its roof. So I have high hopes for this thing, and can't wait to drive it, I'm use to a d8 so the weight won't be a problem for me.
As far as landing on the roof when you cut throttle in the air, I come from nitro as well and a nitro motor with a clutch that let's the drive train freewheel is a lot different than a brushless.
This is one of the reasons I went with the RX8. Push. Best friend for a person coming from nitro as it keeps a little bit or a lot bit of throttle (depending on how you set it) on when you release the trigger. Granted, with brushless you don't want to fully release the throttle but if you do, push will help keep you horizontal.
Also helps it feel like nitro rolling through a turn instead of having motor braking. Touch the brake and push is disabled.
