I tend to agree with Omar. The R40 is good thru the corners. I was beating everybody thru the turns.

BUT,,, the thing that had alot of people worried about the R40 happened to me. I bet I'm the first victim of the "stuck out in the open" steering servo. Let's just say my prefectly good steering servo is now an unregconizable pile of junk.

I didn't get T-boned. I just hit a concrete barrier while barrel rolling down the straight stretch. The concrete made a direct hit on my servo. When I picked my car up, the servo was hanging by the wires. Mannnn,,,, I did not want to see that. And I was winning the race

It was a freaky accident. Can't blame the R40. But had I been driving my NTC3, I probably would still have a servo.
