coming from serpent(8 years) to kyosho the mp10t has been a wonderful truggy. i was 1.6 secs a lap faster ont he same track with worse conditions out of the box. having the truggy now for almost a year i have been very competitive.. the new serpent i cant speak for though. looks nice but was late to the party so i switched brands. most of the newer truggies you really cant go wrong with.. just my opinion. jeremy
