beefy? this pole is easily 10-12 inches thick, and is used to be straight..... i'd say more than beefy! -lol-


But to be honest - i have nothing to compare the 2230 to, except the nitro that came out of it -lol- all my leccy rc has been 10 scale... But as it is (stock gearing), it's quicker both top end and from a dead stop than the new LST2, and with almost twice the weight - i'd say damn impressive! hehehe But everything runs cool as, and i've had no problems whatsoever....

So to answer your question - i guess you could say i love the 2230! -lol-
