Ok read up to the sixth page and have to ask as I am really interested in this model. As a proud owner of the Traxxas E-Maxx, I am now getting ready for an electric on road. This one really stuck out there for me. I am a total newbie for on road so my question is this model an asphalt race car? I am not planning on competitions but want to get on out there with the nitro guys at the track for the fun of it as I have with my monster truck. Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated.
