Ran mine for the first time yesterday. It feels like a good car and tracks straight with alot of power. I was glad to see that a car designed with brushed motors in mind can handle 7700kv and LiPo. I am running on a large 1/8 nitro asphault track that is dusty with rubber tires, 40wt, blue in front and silver in rear. Ran with a diff up front but will upgrade to a steel spool asap.
