Well I run mine on an indoor track so I don't have the issues that outdoor racers have. I really like the buggy. I did the camber mod, not to hard and it helps with rear grip in corners. I can't count the runs and races I have on the buggy and I have yet to see any wear on the out drives and have still not broken a part. I bent a shock eyelet.
If you race in the UK think about the conditions you race under. Jimmy has some photo of some races I would never attend because the weather/track conditions are too harsh..... Living on the west cost in the USA you get spoiled by the nice weather and such....
Hope this helps.
