I still smile when I see posts abou the Lazer being fragile, absolutely NOT the case, the current FS is built like a tank ... a VERY light tank but a tank none the less!
The only slightly weak point on them is the front shock tower and then only on soft surfaces where they can dig in, same for any car with a slimline plastic front tower really.
That will be sorted in the next couple of weeks when the Desire RcRacing towers are available to the public, designed to be strong, with a little more adjustment and improve the one very slight chinc in the FS armour which most people won't ever find anyway!!!!
FS is super easy to build, super easy to maintain, mega reliable (doing my diffs tonight for the first time since Petit in January and the same set of gears have been in there since it was an SP!!!), responds beautifully to setup changes but never turns into an undrivable car ... so long as your on the right tires of course.
I would say it is more than possible to run the FS2 with the same setup everywhere much like many did with the XX4 so don't worry about setup sensitivity however if you like to play with setups then the FS responds like no other car I have ever owned.
It is also a true out of the box racer, you don't need anything that isn't included, even the kit springs are usable for a lot of places. Yes some people like to put 60g on the chassis spine (recomend the RudeBits part if you want to do that) but that really is it! Even with the 60g in there I have seen a couple of cars right on the weight limit so it's no fat lump either. My own car is approx 1600g but then I have heavy cells and chuncky ESC on board..
The best 4wd car ever? IMHO quite possibly!
