I've had this truck for about 7 months now and I must say it's turned me into a Team Losi fan. The local off-road tracks are ungroomed and cater to 1/8 scale nitro buggies but now that I have the big wheels of a stadium truck, I'm able to run in the rough as well. There are very few weak points in the whole truck, and once these are solved, the truck is the perfect basher / club-racer.

Some of the black steel kit screws have bent after some hard bashing (upper shock mounting screw and also the ones that joins the chassis to the front bulkhead) but I've sinced replaced these with stainless steel screws. Also, the inner ball studs on the suspension upper links sometimes get bent and snap off leaving the threaded part in the front bulkhead and making this bulkhead part unusable. Some people replace this ballstud with a titanium one from the XXX-NT Adam Drake 2. Another solution would be to re-thread the holes for 3mm screws and screw in a long stainless steel M3 screw from the bottom and use a Tamiya 5mm ball nut to lock it from the top and use Tamiya rod ends (they call them ball adjusters). These rod ends pop off a lot easier than the stock Team Losi ones, so this would be good for bashing but might be frustrating for racing. If the screw breaks, it can be easily backed out from the bottom.

The good:
+ Very durable
+ Diff can be adjusted without taking anything apart
+ Team Losi has replacements for every single part of the truck
+ Aftermarket parts everywhere

The bad:
- Not as light and fast as the MF2 version
