Driving "feel" is best discribed as a 4wd with a slight push and a slipper that is loose. But like I said, this was just without a decent setup. So still to test what it's able to do with a bit of work

Sadly the 3d printed parts are to fraigile for real testing, so even without jumping the car parts would not take any real abuse. Maybe that last "hop" was a bit to much for the front arm
I am surprised you were not trying to dremel the tyres

Hopefully there will shortly be another batch of stronger 3d printed parts and more carbon fibre parts to replace some of the plastic parts which were used to check the fit was ok.

Its interesting to watch the video and see that the back end does not step out like a normal 2wd would on dirt.
