You really cant find a better truggy for the price and these are highly underrated. I did all the research I could before making my decision and found this one to be extremly reliable and tough as nails. Once I got it I can see why its liked so much by everyone that ownes one.

Don't first jump on wheels either. Read your manual and it tells you how to tune the suspension to make it drive how you want it to. There is so much adjustability with this truck.

Coupon code: JJDPP25

Since your racing I suggest you buy the wing kit.

http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/products_id/4897

This is how the wing kit is installed(also the website reviews the ST-1 and has no dislikes and has lots of good info!)

Status: offline 		Does it change the stance of the truck or what. TT should have just included it to begin with, but then again for bashing you don't really need it since its easier to do backflips without a wing.

Here is my ST-1. To bad I didn't get a ST-1 with the half offset wheels
