I finished mid-pack one full lap off the pace (10 minute main, fast guys turning 30-31 second laps, I turned ~33-34 typical). Car feels very planted and stable, I have the 1900kv buggy motor turned way down (50% throttle travel on radio and 50% current limited on ESC) and there is still way too much power for my driving style.

Building the kit was a dream, everything fit well, high quality parts throughout. Followed all the build tips on this forum (thanks guys, very helpful).

Only complaint is the diff shims (on outside of diff bearings). I understand why they're there to fine-tune the ring/pinion gear mesh, but it's the only part of the kit that seems like an afterthought or like there could/should be a more elegant solution. Other than that little minor nit, everything else is completely easy to build, 10/10, well done Tekno.
