I took mine out today for some laps, overall it was a postive start. I would suggest glueing the arm inserts in place the o-rings dont seem to do as well as on some other cars. Altough they say the t-bar is for low grip I found it to give less stability and forward traction than the running links on low/med grip asphalft. As expected the transverse battery position give better forward traction with increased entry steering. the inline position transitions quicker and hold tighter though through longer corners.

Overall I would say in link configuration it is a step forward from the 101. On 25.5 power it was as quick as my f1r3 but fell a bit short on 21.5. With more time I think It will be comparabe in most outdoor conditions but lacks the extreme adjustability to fit the same range.
