You can give some in-put in the air. The weight does play into that for sure. They are definitely not an 1/8 buggy. But on the right track would run with them. It's just a different thing period. Just like the 1/18 scale vehicles we play with as well. We clocked a Vandetta st with a Mamba the same day ( 4th ). It topped everyone speed wise. It ran several 52 m.p.h. passes. One bump & it would be an airplane though. It's strange to play with both weight extremes, but also very interesting. When we get the track done. I'll put up an invite, so anyone interested can come judge for themselves. Thats the true test anyway. Some people love it & some don't ! Had a local guy sell 4 Nitro vehicles this week to get a 5b with some goodies. He's been hanging with us & got a chance to run one a couple times. That did it for him ....
