The car was run at the World's Warm Up in Sweden two weekends ago, and it did quite well before falling victim to a broken servo.
The prototype car broke in the 1/2 final but not due to a servo (Futaba by the way) - it was a less then a .02 C drive pin in one of its rear driveshafts (INA needle bearing type of roll-pin). But that was a prototype car - all that + more, is taken care of for the production cars. We broke one steering servo arm spline in one of the Futaba arms after the same tripple jump that eventually ended the race though, that was in the last Q heat. Pics showing Magnus Pålsson + XB8.
