I just took the truck out for a spin. Just taking it easy in front of my house to get a feel for the truck. Handling is very very MT like

It is very different from my race E-Revo which has a more Truggy feel to it. But it was fun. I was running on a set of 3S lipos that were pretty empty, the top speed is not impressive. I will have to play with the gearing on that. I say it really felt like a MT probably because I am still on the stock springs and am running the thin sway bars at their softest setting so the suspension was very plush and soft. But those batteries placed low and on either side of the chassis are making it so the truck does not flip on fast cornering. Instead the tires will just loose traction and the truck will slide. No flipping on the lid at all. I have tons of steering off power and still a lot on power. Having so much weight up front really helps. That 1521 has so much torque I will surely be able to gear down to get more top speed. I had to bring the brake power up because that cap bank smooths the braking so much, it was hardly noticeable. I'm up to 75% braking from 30%.
