w.r.c.a. ???

I've got a Mad Rat and tried it in practise at the last race we had and it was actually very good. Lots of grip all round and once I'd filled the front end up with lead it was very nicely balanced as well.

Comparing it to my X6 it was similar in the twisty stuff but worse on long, fast corners but nothing a bit of setup work couldn't get rid of.

I was actually really surprised at the performance available for the price. Granted I threw on a set of associated shocks because the original plastic shocks break apart.

The car was astoundingly strong as well, surviving stuff that made me cringe. The original wing disintegrated but all the parts held up really well.

The only thing that doesn't work properly is the slipper clutch. It is out of true so the spur wobbles side to side. It is also either wide open or locked solid, but the diff copes well and was still smooth after about 40 minutes worth of running a 8.5T on carpet so I'm confident it will stand up well.

For the money it really is great!
