The reason I ask is I'm interested in this car. I'm selling off my short course trucks as 2wd buggy is the most popular at my track
this is the track i race on:

Unfortunately no vids of the buggy classes.
I have my vehicle setup so that the rear end is planted in general when I want it to be, and will steer quickly while under moderate power as well as off power. Coming down the straight into the first turn I can pitch the vehicle hard and as soon as I left off power slightly it will steer in a very controllable fashion. Tight sections I can easily whip around them pretty quick.
In general I like to control my vehicle with throttle and brake inputs. I don't like using drag brake in any classes and I run minimal brake amounts as well.
Overall the vehicle I feel can be tuned to your needs. Being able to quickly access the diff is a big plus too if you need to play with those settings.
If you plan to run in a 17.5 buggy class, getting some common weight lightening items can be a plus. The optional front camber link mounting brace is a nice option to have too.
I next plan to try the shorter front chassis brace to see how it does with any steering improvements, etc.
