I've got to congratulate Associated. They seem to have stepped up with this one. Engineering is much better than past AE models. Material quality seems to be improved. The number of pre-assembled sub-assemblies really sped up the build.
So far I'm impressed. Now if I can find some sway bars!!!
I know it's all about personal preference, track conditions, etc., but I just swapped in the overdrive pulley in the front and really like how the truck pulls out of sweepers now; I only get oversteer when I "ask for it" with the throttle (by letting off too much).
The sway bars also helped out a great deal, as did shimming the rear ball stud (2mm for me, left the front stock).
This truck is sooo easy to drive once you get a feel for it, and as others have mentioned, it truly rewards a smooth approach to your driving vs. the classis "point and squirt" style.
