    Talking First Run

    ...THE GOOD...YEAH BAYBEE!!!

    ...Gone is the buggy...I love my truck!!!

    ...The PitBull tightens it up nice and it just POUNDS the course...The towers are stock plastic but no worries RE: flex...nicely designed...CAW will have their towers soon and we shall see what they come up with...

    ...Stock rims are great...in this case yellow...No breakages yet and they have taken hits which just destroyed the buggy rims...Wear is normal...The axles now take BIG flanged nuts...nice...Little extra tightness...nicely inset so no chance of crashing them...Make sure your wrench can fit IN the wheel opening...Most do...

    ...Stock arms are good and take a thrashing just like the buggy...no need for alloy here...

    ...Shock response is perfect...Running BUGGY shox which are actually a few mm SHORTER than stock ST but that 'floating' sensation is back...MIGHT be due to the PitBull too...They actually hold the truck quite high...I want to lower it if i can...

    ...SO much room under the bodyi dont have to worry about keeping wires etc tidy...Helps running a HAWK INDUSTRIES STiffy plate too

    ...The wider tread is VERY cool...THIS is the RC car I have been waiting for...

    ...THE BAD...

    ...I dont know what they have done with the paint...The yellow / black body is backed with white but its brittle and cracks like a gunshot through a window on impact...not a BIG deal but it would be nice to see it last a LITTLE longer...Bring on the clear bodies...

    ...The rear spoiler is a joke...Came off almost instantly...Time to fashion one out of something else...Thats good because i never liked the shape anyway...too round for me...

    ...The dogbones front and rear look too delicate for the job they need to do...They should be fatter and have stronger pins..They will last but a frequent flier might want an extra set on hand...They are VERY angled too and it might quite the chore to level them a bit...

    ...THE UGLY...

    ...Broke the left rear axle...basically the nut had loosened and the wheel had moved out along the axle making a weak point where the threads started...As luck would have it i contacted the famous 'PanicToys Wall of Fear' and broke the axle...FIX: Make sure your nuts are tight Wall:5- BitHed:2...

    That is my first rule! Now where is that squirel? BitHed, man you are killing me. I want it so bad. I guess I have ST envy. I can make that go so fast it would jump anything. I bet all the area under the body helps keep things lots cooler too. Don't have so much fun with your truck that you forget the rest of us.

    Thanks for the preview and tips.

    All I can say is
    Nice ink dude! But hey, you know what, I like it better than the bunny suit. Easter will never be the same for me again.
