Heheh yup, thems the breaks! Literally lol :) I just hate it when something breaks and the store is closed, or like in my current situation, 2 days before pay

As for how it runs.. Well I will be honest.

At first, I did not like it, mainly because it steered like a bus.

But! Checking the tie rod length really made a huuge difference. I guess the previous owner while it was nitro powered did not need much steering, or he steered with the throttle. But now, I think its an awsome machine :) Its very quick, even with just 4s geared 16/46 it pulls pretty hard. It will turn on a quarter, and it drifts very nicely. I took it out for its first ramp session yesterday, and I have to say, I really love how it flies :) Overall, Im very satisfied with it.. I realise you can buy a new model from any company, but as a first truggy, Im content with my choice. On top of a few suspension bits I want to replace, I was looking at what few hopups there are for it.. hmm. Also, Im starting to see what people are talking about when it comes to power and efficiency.. My run times arent for very long, maybe 15-20 mins just messing around out front of the house on the street. I do have a Q tho.. at around 30mph, the pinion/spur mesh starts sounding a bit ragged.. that would be a good indication the mesh is a bit on the sloppy side? I set it for about .030" of slop..

Edit:

I think its just the metal pinion and spur sound.. Im not quite used to it yet heheh. My revo is much quieter heheh.
