Yeah, for off-road bashing it really is too small. If you want something small that can do it the 1/16th revo's are great at it.

I just love the way this thing drives though. It feels exactly like an 8th scale buggy. Same braking/cornering/jumping techniques.

Within 2-3 jumps I was rocking it over the doubles. It didn't have enough power for the triples at the track I was running. The whole reason I got it is my Truggy has been outlawed at the local indoor track. A single person felt (read whined/complained) that my truggy was a hazzard to the children there. Despite the fact that I have been an over courteous driver. Always slowing down, or giving way to the smaller vehicles. And when someone was on the track marshaling I would slow down or stop for them. If I didn't have to stop I was moving past them at a walking pace, no chance of injury.

Its a good thing I already bought the 8ight because otherwise i would have driven 30 minutes for nothing. This completely ignores the grandfather who gave his 5yr old kid free reign on the track with a Slash VXL. All the kid did when he was driving was go full bore into every wall and car. Same grandfather let the kid drive FROM the track instead of the drivers stand. The kid hit a jump and sent the truck out of the track into the pit area.

That kid should be outlawed from running if the grandfather can't keep a lid on the throttle. Kid needs a slower truck. I bought my nephew at 1/16th E-Revo brushed version and on trainer mode its plenty fast enough for him.

But hey, I'm the guy with the big truggy who hasn't hit anyone or broke anyone elses cars. But its a big truggy so it MIGHT hurt someone.
