All I can say about this car is WOW! I finished assembling the car yesterday morning just in time for qualifying at the Georgia On Road Championships. I qualified 2nd in the Amain behind my buddy Fernando Gordinho who was also running the lightning12. Unfortunately I was hit from behind in the first turn and my motor slipped forward. I pushed the motor back and tightened it down. After missing 5 laps I threw it back on the track and the car drove amazing. I finished 5 laps down on Fernando, had the fastest lap time with three 9.1's. If I had a better start Fernando and I would of had a blast pushing each other for the win.

I setup up the car with a tamiya touring car shock in the center with an extra long ball cup. 4wt shurlube in the link tubes, stock front springs, blue AE rear springs, 0 toe out, 1mm camber, 3.6mm ride height all around, Parma black fronts, pink rears, Viper vtx1 speedo, Trinity d3.5 13.5, Orca 6500mah, protoform amr12 body.

I have owned the xray x12, AE12r5.1, 12r5.2 and now the lightning 12... By far the best 1/12 scale I have driven.
