I'll give my opinion too...

STeering is right up there with the best in 1/8. It feels like a new-gen, modern buggy. Love the look, and feel. I was comfortable with it right away. Looks and feels small, agile and quick. Wicked corner speed. You will constantly turn under others Mine weighed in at slightly over 100 grams less than an mp9, ready to run. The shocks get a special mention too. I run mine with the TiNi option shafts, and they are seriously good, even with stock setup pistons etc.

There is a small downside, and that is consistency at tracks that change during the day. If you set up for slower steering on a loamy or dusty track, and it changes to blue groove or high traction, the back end will lock down and you'll want more steering, and vice versa. But this is a normal racing issue, and will affect all buggies, plus it's just my findings on the tracks I run anyway.

Durability, all buggies gonna have issues, this had some, may still have some, but all said and done, no concerns for me about durability, or premature wear.

SIcK buggy.
