That's funny you say that because I had the hole shot in each of my 4 races this past weekend. I didn't keep the lead each time though. I still don't feel as if I have my low-end is good. I seem to be missing some of the quickness the other guys have. However, some of those guys are running much more expensive engines.
I also wish I had better steering. I just don't seem to be able to make the tight turns that a lot of other buggies do. A lot of guys I run against run Mugens. But like you said, for the money this buggy is great. I'm new to nitro so I have a lot to learn as well.
FYI - I posted a pic of my buggy on the picture thread today. It's the tiger striped buggy on page 15. I wanted sopmething a little different.
