In my opinion, "yes". I just put a 320oz/torque steering servo in place and ... Wow... what a difference. on pavement it'll kick up a leg on turns. :-)

plenty of power... handling is just amazing.. it is NOT a basher.. but can take some beating.. it'll climb quite a bit... there are videos of it doing pretty good jumps, but it doesn't have the suspension travel of other trucks.
