It's as aggressive as you want and easily mellowed out. Excellent choice for someone looking to get into 4 wheel buggy.
I agree with this somewhat but not in the steering department, that linkage needs to be slop free for sure. I tend to not use AL hubs or any "bling" and leave a little slop on my rides especially at the arms. anything that mounts to the chassis i tighten all the way and then back off a 1/4 turn.
