i wouldn't recommend an endurance race running madrats as the kit shocks are terrible and repeatedly pop off. You won't notice the problem with the trucks as the shell protects them, but any roll with a madrat and you will lose a shock. Maybe the contest should be to see who gets the most laps before losing all the shocks!
But seriously, apart from the shocks and the weak t-plate issue the rest of the car is fine. It sounds like a more sturdy moulding for the t-plate is in the pipeline so hopefully that will resolve that issue. But anyone looking at getting a madrat should definitely factor in a pair of second hand B4 shocks for around £30-40. Ansmann do their own alloy shocks for about £10 per pair, but i couldn't comment on their quality.
And Ryan, you won't need any of those alloy parts. Save your money and put it towards some shocks or a steel t-plate from paulmay
