We're having a big race called the Winter Blitz. What a way to get a first run in with a new rig,
I wouldnt dare post a vid because Im not a very good driver lol. I did give my stock box first race opinion a couple of pages back so here is my second race review. I made a couple of minor adjustments (nothing to mention for a set up) and ran at a different track than my first review. One negative I can see is with the body/chassis being so narrow if and when you get tangled up with someone this car is more prone to get stuck (wheels and arms stick out like a mini truggy). This car is by far the best handling and most forgiving I have driven (this year alone Ive had an 8 2.0, rc8, durango 408 e converted, and hb de8). The amount of air control and bad landing forgiveness is almost effortless. The speed of this car is awesome (with a 1900 tekin setup with no boost is REALLY REALLY FAST) no one was faster on the straight away by far. Durability seems like other serpent products I have had very solid and high quality. So the bottom line is if you dont get tangled up and are a half decent driver this car will make you look like a better driver. It is very well balanced and if you have good finger control even box stock is a very good option. I hope this helps
