So far I've been to the track 3 times. This buggy is easily as fast or faster than any other buggy on the track. My track times aren't great yet, but getting there!
The good:
-Fast
-Reasonably durable
-Can be taken to the track out of the box
-Parts can be upgraded/replaced by TLR 8ight-XE parts.
The bad:
-Servo already died. Recommend getting an upgrade for your toolbox immediately.
-Wheels are thin. Already many cracks in them
-Body is thin. Recommend reinforcing around mounting holes with packing tape.
