Hi guys, there wasn't much of a review up here on these so I thought I might share my opinion.

We ran a few on our RCP track at Hobby Town USA in Mooresville, NC this past Saturday. We built the track up with banking in several corners, added a few jumps, and randomly placed all the plastic "dots" that came with the cars. It was a lot of fun! The cars will flip pretty easily; either from the wall grabbing the car in a corner, or just traction rolling at higher speed - but they show potential... plenty of steering on the high grip surface. They do tend to push on tile or lenolium, but I think that could be fixed by playing with the diffs.

One of our racers modified his with an MR-02 board, soldering up the kit servo and motor. He also found some stiffer springs, rebuilt the shocks with Losi 80/70wt fr/re and shaved his tires to slicks... and it ran really well. It would still traction roll at times.

I feel the lipo is a must, especially if you're used to running quicker cars... they're a bit under powered with the 4.8 battery. Edit: Forgot to mention that we put the Xceleroin 1/36 brushless system in our store car, and didn't pick up much speed over just the lipo. It was much harder to drive with the power curve of the 8750kv motor... maybe if Losi comes out with a specific brushless for this car it will be better, but I can't recommend the system designed for the 1/36 cars.

If anyone is in the NC area, check us out for racing. We're trying to race every Saturday at noon, but the track is up during all store hours for free play.
