Never tried the pillow ball..I have only raced a losi 8ight 2.0 I want to say..never said it didn’t have enough steering almost too much at Times. Local hobby is not much at all really. Love working on the cars and the YouTube Adam drake videos on the Mugen is very nice���� Just wanted to try something different and wanted to know if it was a smart choice because I already have the losi Truggy. Heard the MBX8 drives better too .?
