Uhhh, yeah... as brutal of a review that was they were being kind.
With one way grub screws as links and without dual threaded adjustment nuts on any links the Thunder Tiger it was/is a nightmare to tune, so much so that at a point they kind of just gave up on trying to tune the thing. It is tunable, however it's a pain and the factory settings are just stupid. I also forgot to mention it has fixed tension on the servo saver - which sucks. Someone early on said they wouldn't waste their money on a Yusa , I would say unless you are desperate, strapped for cash, and have an anything will do just get me a buggy mental moment, the Thunder Tiger is a poor choice. Honestly I am not really sure what Thunder Tiger was thinking.
Last night I did a partial tear down and side by side with one of my Yusa rollers. The problem as I see it is that other than the Aluminum front hubs everything else would be a downgrade if I started moving parts to the Yusa.
FYI - RC Car floggs their test vehicles viscously. The Thunder Tiger unit they sent over had a bent deck, front shock tower, caster link, both front shock shafts were bent and the tires were bald. I of course straightened everything out and will simply just flog this thing until something breaks and sell it on ebay. I should probably continue this on some other post....
