Well, I took the truck out to my alleyway for a bit of warming up for the new season (and to burn off the rest of my old fuel). Steering is solid, if the centering isn't working right, I'm not noticing it in practice. It's also a lot faster than it needs to be. I can jiggle the wheel and the truck can't shift weight fast enough to respond
Throttle and shifting duties are great. It's got really quick throttle response and the shifting assembly functions very solidly.
More words when I actually take it out bashing!
