Raced it today - it was good! the setup I put on it when building was too soft, especially at the rear. I ended up on silver Associated rear springs and 30wt with biggest hole pistons and it was a lot better, nicely balanced. I am not used to a fixed 4wd but ran it like that all day. I will use the one-way diff next weekend at york.
The car was strong, didn't break anything apart from the spur gear - that was because one of my packs of cells had a lead that was too long (link wire) and it got positioned wrong under the shell.. took 3 teeth off I think. Luckily richard isherwood was there and had an 87t B4 spur which is apparently what some of the team drivers are running, and this also felt a lot better gear ratio.
