I use to race the nitro version on offroad and then sold it. Bought another nitro one and ran it on the dirt oval against other trucks. I have always done well with the truck.
The electric version is very similiar to the nitro version so it should work pretty well and especially for the price. I buddies shop sells them and they are alot of bang for the buck.
Here is a pic of my oval truck. My offroad one is on another computer.
