Its probably ok to be used as a pavement pounder. Flat driving with no jumps. But trying to jump one of those things and the chassis flexes all over the place. and everything just bends.

I'll say this. A friend on mine has the GTP and he had a minor run away. (it was quite entertaining wahtching him chase it around the parking lot as the servos both went crazy zig zaging all over with high throttle then high brakes. Nothing more entertaining that watching a grown man chase a toy around in public.)

Anyway it eventually clipped a curb and that stopped it. It wasnt going that fast, but that chassis was a MESS! Everything bent.

A couple nights later another friend with a Mugen buggy had a "spektrum moment" and he clipped the same curb but easily at twice the speed. He scraped up the front of the chassis and broke a front arm, but nothing like the mangled mess the GTP was.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...


Silent...But Deadly
