I have not raced the truck as there are no local outdoor tracks open this time of year. I do however BASH the heck out of it, and i love it.
The pros? its just about the best preforming 1/18 scale truck out of the box ever. The suspension is amazing change the oil in the shocks to 30~35 and you are set.
The cons? in stock form it tends to traction roll if you are ultra-agressive on power on turns, i sway bar in the back really brings that right under control though. the stock battery pack is only so so
The wheels are about 3mm taller and 1mm wider (in the rear) than the stock.
reguarding the ball cups, there are two fixes, one is free the other cost some money...
the free way is to lightly dremel out the cup alittle more so it is not as tight. I know it sounds counter intuitive, but it works. I also drill a little hole in the back of the cup to keep it from binding. you need to do this by feel so you need to be very careful.
the other option is to get out your calipers and buy some lunsford turnbuckles and dubro ball cups the total length is 55 mm so you have a bunch of choices.
hope this helps..
