Man, as far as handling and holding it's own—there is no stopping it! The only other truggy that can touch it at our track is my friend's 2.0 (he is also the best driver). On one of my good days, If I am out front, no one can catch up unless I screw up (which happens to all of us). I guess this year there is a Z01T and a RC8T CE now... we will see what happens there, should be a good fight.
Bottom line, it holds it's own if not exceeds the nitros. The acceleration is instant and smooth. Very predictable every time. I also have slightly thicker shock oil than stock. I personally like that set-up, and I built my diffs 10/7/3K. All of these things come into play with the handling, and of course it's always different per track, and driver's preference.
I just got a Flip Minnow HD (I designed some of the graphics), so I will get some vid up in the next couple of weeks.
Again, great choice.

Ted,
Definately sounds like it should be able to put it down with the nitro boys. lol I actually raced 12th scale 6-cell mod about 15 years ago and it's been nitro ever since so this is a step in a different direction, one which I'm very much looking forward to.
I'm hoping I can get it setup pretty neutral initially and tune from there. I'd expect the 1700kw 5S setup to provide some pretty solid motor regardless of track size. Hoping the Tekin setup does what I'd expect it too. Seems like quality kit overall.
Love your truck. I'm actually in CT so I'm sure I'll see a few of the guys around here
