Its not a bad design, It keeps up with my 8ight just fine.
But this wasnt about racing... It was about a weak differential. Which is not any weaker than any other 1/8 diff I've used and rebuilt.
Bottom line is the LX2e is a GREAT STARTING/BASHING BUGGY, If your into racing you probably wouldnt want an entry level buggy in the first place. IMO
