I have tired to run it but I had to mount it so high up on the car that Im sure it wasnt a good test to how it works. The issue with this body is that it doesnt allow for much clearance under the sides of the body so your electronics need to be really low profile to get the body lower. I cant give you any good feed back on how well it works. Again just try one out and see for yourself....thats one of the nice things about 12th scale bodies they are cheap enough to test things like this.
