The car is equally as tough or even tougher than the Xray! The slipper is just great, nothing wrong with that. Steering slop isn't really an issue IMHO. It's true that there are some "small" things that could have been better, but for the money ... I have already wiped the top 2 of our National top drivers' ass with the car...easily. The car is SUPER consistent and easy to drive. After the last race they were waiting in turns to get a drive with the car and they all said the same thing: pretty sharp car huh, turns so short, stable as well... 100$ less than an xray, with 2 bodies? 3 spur gears? all rollbars included, really? The thruth is if they hadn't invested a lot in their Xrays, they would ... I think for the first effort in 1/10 ofroad it was bang on and if the company will further develop the car more people will follow! Being an rc racer for about 20 years I only have praise for this car...
Thats great to hear, after owning the s350 be1 i knew the kit would be very solid. I hope its tougher than the xray, when they first came out, every single one I saw broke in some way. 1/10 4wd has died a log time ago in houston
and there has not been any cars tough enough to get people back into it. With the next gen wheelers coming out things may change though.....
