hmmm the evo3 is strong car. in my exprience thou, the bevel gears in the diff housing tend to wear out very quickly in a mod class at there r juz too much slop. also note the suspention geometry on the car are more akin to those design to run rubber tires (less angle shocks and balance front and rear roll center). the only things i dun like about it is it's steering links which at times can rub on the shaft (note dun blindly follow the instruction manual. make sure it clear the shaft both left and right turn.) the car is quick down the straight and fast sweepers (due to its internal ratio) but getting it to use all the power on the exit might need some exp in tuning. other than that, it's a good car (hey surikarn raced it didnt he before he get his hand on a 415?)
