Status: offline 		Just ordered the pro with the .21, should be on the track in 2 weeks I have to tear it apart and put it back together before I even think about breaking it in. I am saying goodbye to my beloved ofna becuse the design and machinework on this car looks great and the engineering looks top notch. I'll post how she handles soon as I find out.

Status: offline 		well I am 4 tanks into the turmoil breakin (heat cycling) and it's going great. had to put an A3
in it to get it up and running to 200 degrees. running sidewinder 30% I put a hitec 5645 digital servo in the steering and the car turns like a beast. the .21 version 2 is wicked even during break-in I worked the suspension a little and it will be on the track sunday.

Status: offline 		Turmoil rtr is around $550 looks like a good value for rtr nice radio good engine and nice design features. should be competetive with a little tweaking.

AZN the lst is a great MT and the turmoil so far has been a great experience for me. by the way the lst and turm carry the the same diffs and some other small parts because sportwerks and losi are both owned by horizon hobbies.

Status: offline 		Good luck guys, I am really psyched up. My turmoil pro makes it first track day tomorrow
she's all broken in and I have all my baseline suspension set. by the way I have like 9 tanks through the engine and I have only just started tuning, but every tank I get through the .21v2
the motor gets faster. I'll try to get some pics and post them during the week.

And TOFS I haven't had any air leak problems with my .21 but that has a solid backplate not a pull or rototart so I don't know. put the post in the mayhem thread they should know all about the .26

Status: offline 		Revo the car is an excellent track vehicle. Very nimble and great handling. sometimes too much steering. Jumping was very controlled and it flys very flat. I have the pro arr with the sportwerks .21 v2 and the motor can keep up with the fastest at my track. My only problems were the shock and diff oils, after changing to losi shock oil and ofna diff oil the car is much better.

Status: offline 		Has anyone had problems with weak suspension arms. I'm on my third tank of break-in and already broke the front lower suspension arm. I didn't even hit anything just going over some bumps in the yard.

Status: offline 		No problems with mine Revo, And I hit eveything on the track this weekend. Last weekend I was having problems with the rear end being loose, this weekend I traction rolled in almost every corner. Well the traction problems fixed, now I have to slow the hell down. on a good note I got the track record for the fastest single lap 31.769 and that was really wierd because the rest of my laps sucked.
