I don't drive them competitively; I drive my rex.
But I've given them a spin a couple of times. Literally. "Oh wow is that how sensitive the rear is? Oh and is that how little power you need to make it spin around?" [pondering to myself while in my own cloud of smoke].
All of the ones I've seen compete in the State series are around the early-to-mid 90's era, and there was a supercharged one at the last State round! I think it was a bit more recent than those others. I'm sure that one'll play at the Nats too.
