Notes:

This setup has a TON of off power steering, so beware when you let off the gas completely, it's gonna turn, not get loose....TURN. I have yet to experience my car getting lose or washy under any circumstances with this setup and I put about 1 continuous hour on it last night with a pair of lipos.

It doesn't wash out, it just cuts and goes wherever it's pointed. For those of you who like to "push" a car through a corner, you probably won't like this setup...but for those of you like me, who like a car to ROTATE and you have to "turn" the car through the corner, then you're going to high-five me!lol

Basically, you have to be steering the car constantly, because it cuts and goes HARD, be ready is all I'm saying....but if you can get used to the quickness, I think you'll like it
