What are your thoughts? How are they in terms of handling and speed?

Handling out of the box is dooky since all they come with is non oil shocks. Speed depends on what you put in, but stock isn't that fast. The steering setup has a little bit of slop. Finding tires to fit is a headache. Other than that a fun 1/16th platform.

If your interested in getting one, get the new bare chassis kit. It doesn't come with a body or electronics, plus it includes oil filled shocks. So you can choose which body and electronics you want to put in/on.

EDIT:
Here is a link the the new bare chassis with upgraded shocks.
