Well lets just say i have gotten a couple to put through the paces in my GT and B4. I'm also going to try one in my 1/8 just to see if it lasts at all.
Haven't gotten to run them yet.. But I have tried one for the throttle in my GT. The hitec I had for throttle would never put the carb back to the idle stop. The bluebird in there puts back to the stop every time.
For bashing I'd say it would be worth 20 bux just to try out. I'm going to race the he!! outta mine and see how they last.
