Dear Gamefan,
To answer your question, all I have done so far is break in.
All my running was on ashfault, once broken it is fast, very responsive and runs very true.
The turning radius could be tighter.
I will comment further once I run it off road and see how is takes jumps.
I hope this helps.
Best Regards,

Why the 840's instead of the 845's..the 845's have way more torque but they are a little slower than the 840's. I was going to go w/2 845's for steering and and an 840 for throttle/brake.

I thought about the 845 but I guess I went with the 840 because of lower current draw. ...but mostly because I was impatient and the 845 was out of stock.

Im gonna go w/the 2 845's for steering and the 840 for the throttle then. Should be able to get all three servos for $270 w/free shipping.. Thats the best deal i found online so far.... the Bart pipes seem to be out of stock everywhere...i have a Victory on my 5ive t and it runs good...might go with that....how does that booster pipe run for you?
 
The track I run at requires a silenced pipe so I got the Booster. It seems to have a ton of horsepower. Runs really good.

The 5ive-B has no roll cage and didn't have to cut the body to fit. I did however cut some holes in it to get the heat out.
