I finally get a chance to see what all of the hype is about!

My 2.4 GHz car arrived Monday and I got a chance to play with it a little bit yesterday.

This thing had a few things going against it at first...

1. A box stock Mini-Z is never fun to drive.
2. Long wheelbase, new body...I had no idea how it was going to handle.
3. It was so pretty I didn't want to mess it up
4. I had to actually read the instructions to figure out how to use it!

Anyway, I got it running and it seemed okay. I'll have to get used to the reverse but I figure that will come with time. Obviously the tires just weren't quite right for the track and I had a stock motor on a 6 tooth pinion so I just wasn't impressed.

Then I decided to take my AD band car (which is pretty well tuned) and swap all the parts over to the 2.4 chassis. I also took the wheel off of my Helios and slapped that on the small 2.4 controller and BAM! I understood what it was all about.

No gitching, super fast response! This thing is great, I am sold. I think it's time to cull the herd a little bit and just move everything over to 2.4.
