I had one and really didn't care for it. It was probably the fastest MT I'd ever driven. But it had alot weak areas. The thing spent more time on the bench than on the track.
The spur gears stripped pretty easily. It really needs a slipper clutch. Its too easy to stay on the gas when landing causing the gears to strip.
Hard on the brakes causes the diffs to "jump" teeth. Even with the fix recommend on the Global hobbies forum, didn't completely fix it. It still clicked and skipped.
The chassis is a bit too weak. They can bend pretty easily.
The rear shock towers are also too thin. A few crashes and they're bent.
I personally wouldn't recommend one.....
