So what is the general opinion on this buggy? Any areas of concern as far as durability or wear? Handling wise? Consistent from track to track?
Ok,I love the car! Turns on a dime. The stock setup to me is perfect for those who are drifters around the corners...But I'm not. I finally got the rear under control,I still turn under people and now I can gun it and keep it straight out of the corner.
The car has taken a beating from me mainly at the first race and it did finally break,but when you pound away at the left front and then finally land the car on it's side to top it off,yeah,something is going to give and the left front did. But besides that and a bent rear center drive shaft. The car has been great. Hell,in my 5th race with it,I took second(should of been first) last weekend at the Midwest Nitro race at Clark RC in Wisconsin.
As for the drive shaft,I was running just one long brace in back. I've put the other short brace in and I didn't notice it bending again so running both braces must fix that.
I ran the D812 over the winter and never felt comfortable with it. Ran the MBX6 last summer and never felt comfortable with it. This car,I'm feeling comfortable with and it just keeps getting better.
