I just got one in trade for building another car...I'm sure it can be made to work quite well but I'm not liking the car much. The battery hold downs are cool and the front end is nice having the caster blocks be just 1 piece instead of keeping track of 3. Where I have issues with the car is in the rear suspension. The t-plate has 1 pivot ball and bolts straight to a spacer at the front. Because the front has no pivots the tweak screws are essentially useless if you need to adjust tweak. The damper plates reduce the useable space in the pod. I'm not sure if the car I got has the stock spur gear or if the customer changed it...either way it is way too big. It has a thread on style left side hub which is nice for balance and stays on well...but it makes it harder to space out the axle to different lengths, and it's a metal rear axle.

That being said the car can be fast if built right I think...I just think there are better options out there.
