Since your truck seems well sorted, how are you finding the handling on it compared to the nitro guys? I'd assume from everything I've seen, they really put power to the ground but I've yet to see someone putting down good consistent laps (least via video's). Overall, hpw does brushless truely hold it's own out there? I was originally going to stay nitro but just felt like going brushless was something I wanted to give a go. Seems like there are a lot of pluses once one gets them setup.

Yes, the inner bearings. Actually Avid has them for $1 a piece. I got the rubber / metal shielded ones. Put the rubber outside facing, and the metal side inner facing.
Man, as far as handling and holding it's own—there is no stopping it! The only other truggy that can touch it at our track is my friend's 2.0 (he is also the best driver). On one of my good days, If I am out front, no one can catch up unless I screw up (which happens to all of us). I guess this year there is a Z01T and a RC8T CE now... we will see what happens there, should be a good fight.
Bottom line, it holds it's own if not exceeds the nitros. The acceleration is instant and smooth. Very predictable every time. I also have slightly thicker shock oil than stock. I personally like that set-up, and I built my diffs 10/7/3K. All of these things come into play with the handling, and of course it's always different per track, and driver's preference.
I just got a Flip Minnow HD (I designed some of the graphics), so I will get some vid up in the next couple of weeks.
Again, great choice.
