just saw one at the track last night. waiting for the platinum but it looks like it should be another fun class.

Picked a RTR up from the LHS yesterday. I was going to get the PE, but it was too hard to resist the RTR sitting there on the shelf yesterday.

Can't comment on the handling because I was just messing around in the snow.

Durability is there, no issues after a hard 4 packs through it. Setup the launch ramp and it saw 6+ feet a few times landing on the clean driveway.

I was going to put one of my spare MMMs in it tonight but I think I'll wait until at least tomorrow night because I don't want to go in the snow with the MMM. I wish it was waterproof, it would have been in there already :(

8 of these came into my LHS and they sold out the first day. They look to be good aside from the Velineon ESC. Typical LVC issues with them, people are already swapping them out for Castle controllers but they're a hoot to drive.

got the PE yesterday. if the track is open sunday ill test it out .i installed the center diff ( which is in the box but not in the truck) so simple to work on. WOW 4 screws and the rear end comes off and the diff slides in after the slipper slides out.

my platinum is in the mail. should have it monday. then time to get rid of the stock esc and motor.

The vxl system is pretty nice actually. (my younger cousin got one to get into racing) stayed pretty cool running 2s lipos:neutral:

Yeah BB16 the vxl system looks alot nicer now then the 1st version I got with the rustler. The motor is one piece now at the front end bell / can, with a beveled edge now and the finish is alot better. It's a good 1st bl esc to learn with. IMO

you can also use a sensored motor with this esc. still the brakes and reverse are no good. really have to race with no reverse unlike a more expensive esc . have to see what rules are made up to see what can be changed.

So how do you like the ofna.I like there products but for me its hard to find parts. Really like the performance of 4800's on 2s in my slashes though.

Great truck.. weight is a touch forward when jumping 1/8 style monster jumps.. nothing skill can't clean up and with the 8ight shocks she is great on the track. I've seen a mod where they move the battery slightly back some as well. Only broken part to date, after a few months w/ some indoor racing etc has been a body post. We'll see if the good luck continues :) nitrohouse.com is where i bought the truck, they have plenty of spare parts.. good pricing.
