I noe that this might be a silly question but I am really interested in getting a shaft driven car. So I would jz wana now wheter this car would suit me onot.
I have the CGM, which is the tubversion of the SD car. It is very durable. The weakest part on the car is the front lower arms. I would recommend which ever car you purchase get the Wide Front Bumper Yokomo Hop-up, this will help quite a bit if you have a tendency to hit the boards.
The cars perfomance is very good, easy to drive, but like any other car you will need to spend some time finding a setup that suits your driving style, but as you can see this is a very large thread, and you will have no problem finding a good starting point for chassis setups.
The nice part about Yokomo is they keep the main parts from series to series, so getting the needed replacement parts are seldom a problem, in addition, their is a wide aftermarket parts availability for Yokomo SD cars.
If you get one of the SD version cars you will not regret it. Good Luck.
