Default 1/16 trucks ?

Anybody own one? I have the monsoon and hurricane, was just wondering what they are like to run if they are fun or just flip over too much. I think they look cool something that small running nitro.
Edit and are these 1/16 fast what would you say thier speed is?

Ya there pretty neat to see flying down the road. I would say they go somewhere around 15-maybe20mph conservative estimate. They don't flip to bad. I think the buggy is the best out the bunch of them, it's low to the ground which makes it hard to flip, but none of them seem to realy flip much. The engines can be realy tempermental, one HUGE draw back is the fact that no one seems to have exhaust gaskets for these engines, so if your exhaust gasket goes bad your out of comission. Other than that they are pretty neat, bluecaka has a video of his buggy on You tube.

the other downfall is the diff gears are plastic. If you dont beat on them to bad they are ok.

Interesting comment about the exhaust gasket. You would just have to get a sheet of gasket material from a local auto store and cut your own.
