I sold the truck a couple months ago, it was just not getting used. It was lightning fast even on 4s, handled well even on asphalt and was robust. However it was too much of a missile for my grandson and I was afraid he would injure himself or someone else. After the initial set up the truck ran flawlessly, I never ran the original body or blower so it looked like new when I sold it.
I should confess I have only ever owned 1 other monster truck, the original Savage SS so I don't have much to compare it to. I preferred it over the Savage just because it was electric, no tuning or mess. Naturally it was faster than the Savage as the SS only had the 25 motor.
50% of my time is now spent on fixed wing and quads but if I wanted another monster truck I would not hesitate buying the Kyosho.
