I'm sure they will improve over time, but it seems to be too much power to be stable and consistent over a season....I used to race electric 2wd and 4wd buggies and they were great, still are. I would not mind getting a b4 or something to bring to the track to play with, but the new electric cars seem to be kinda bad. The slash make grinding noises going around the track, and the shocks seem underdampened, and the 1/8th scale electric are too complicated, and so on...I might have to drive one first though, but based on seeing others with them, woah sending in speed controls and batteries left and right. I like my reliable p5.
