I notice recently after a little rain the damn car can drift (big time -considering its constant 4x4) even at low speeds on corners - not a good feel having it drift . My previous sets Yokos were good to ...

To me it has a little bit of a "gift" feel, something that I probably wouldn't quite buy for myself but that someone might get me for a birthday.

it does look well made maybe from a similar tough plastic material used in wheelie bins and for $30 its rather cheap. i guess some people arent as handy as others or like to have all the latest gizmos. personally my 30x30cm piece of 18mm ply does the job for me and cost me nothing. I think most ...
