I still run mine. I've had it since the first day it hit the shelves. I run a sidewinder 5700 system on 2S 5000 MAH 20C and 25C LiPos. Stock gearing. It was my favorite truck for a while until I built-up my E-Savage. It's becoming my go-to truck if I'm going to be running in a big parking lot or park with short-cut grass...don't really need a monster-truck based vehicle for that environment. Sometimes I'm also just more in the mood to wheel a 2WD around a track instead of bashing my E-Savage through one! Just last night I back-ordered a pair of ProLine Gladiators for dedicated off-road tires (I'll slap on the bald tires for paved lot bashing)... I'm hoping these gladiators will be durable enough to last awhile but still have enough traction to use as practice tires on race day. I'm intending to take this back out to the track this summer for some racing as a secondary class to run. I'm putting together an electric 1/8 buggy to be my primary racer.
