I dont recall if Ive mentioned this, but man am I happy with the truck! Just a little tuning and its awesome. I drilled out the pistons to 4 hole just for the rear, 30wt, some ride hight tweaking. It handles great, easy to drive like the 4wd. Only thing is I keep breaking t plates. I ran out of spares so I reglued it and made an aluminum reinforcement plate. Apparently, theres a flaw in the design at the back part of the chassis, where the hinge pin holder mounts. When installed and tightened down, it induces a slight bend in the plate, making it susceptible to breakage.
A trophy race a few weekends ago, first ever race with the truck, I qualified 3rd behind a couple regular fast guys. In the single main I was in a pileup and was last at the start (10th) but worked my way up to 4th and was gaining on 3rd. I was quite happy with the results. Not bad for a $99 kit!
