i have one of these motors on my duratrax, is yours the side or rear exhaust? mine is the rear and i have to say, the motor is much better then may stock motor and it kicks *****.
and like the others said it got good report in the mag. as for is it easy to tune. it seem s to me and i am new to this rc stuff.
if your gonna use it for parking lots. its perfect.
