quality is average, durability good, it's nimble, light feeling, provides great traction, a bit loose from the rear, not great on dusty or rough tracks, excellent when there's grip or a smooth surface or on small tracks, great steering in the corner entries but can be a litlle twitchy in the exits, excellent looks, awesome support from the team, JQ cars change too often though, the white edition is very similar to the mp9 which is great but there's no white edition eCar
if you have any question ask Chris Marrale, he's been a massive support for me when I raced the Car
here is a feedback on the ebuggy I had
mbx5r converted: very strong, heavy, excellent quality/durability, lacked steering, very easy in the rough and when driven hard
808 converted: somehow similar to the JQ, light feeling, great traction, poor diff bearings and not the best transmission, can be twitchy in dusty conditions,awesome quality, very durable, fun
dnx408 converted: very precise, stiff chassis, awesome in high grip situations, very sensitive, super easy to drive fast, not the best traction in dusty or rough conditions, wear is not the best (similar to JQ)
XB9E: very stable, sensitive to setup changes, excellent suspensions, great in the rough, best quality out there, durable, simple design, effective, expensive parts but one of the best e-buggy for sure
mbx6 eco: super easy in the rough, excellent handling overall, lacks a bit steering, can push in the corners but this makes it very predictable, needs little tuning to make it work, easy to drive fast, excellent quality, durable,.. maybe the most balanced buggy I drove
MP9E TKI: well designed, a lot of great little details, wears faster than the Xray but still good quality, high end components, excellent geometry, awesome shocks, anodization is crap, awesome drivetrain, great steering overall it turns just like a buggy should the front end never surpasses the rear, super easy in the rough, old design but well it works..
EB48: metal parts wear fast, awesome in the jumps, very nimble, agressive steering, excellent on high grip, lack of balance in rough and dusty conditions, components are very close together whch can result in a higher temperature of the electronics, purpose built design, quality issues are now solved on the EB48.2
3.0E: very well balanced between the steering and stability, purpose built for electric, great looking, modern design, quality still not on par with xray/mugen/sworkz/serpent, easy to drive in just about every situation, can have a very agressive front end without loosing the rear
.. I may have forgotten a few of them
