One of the MRC / Academy drivers who I race with has the SBV3 to put through its paces for awhile now (Brandon A on rctech, winner of last years X-fest and was featured on Team Tekin's website), from what I can tell he changed some settings like going with Losi springs. He and RC Dad (his dad) also determined how to use the original V1/V2 wheels on the car (it uses a full pin setup by default front and rear) and from what I can tell is much more planted than the SBV2 was, and jumps very level.
It also seems to like to drive with its suspension in the front a bit more higher than the V2 did from what I recall, but goes around the track faster than the V2.
The plastics are quite durable from what I can tell.
The 1/10 4wd class has a variety of vehicles in it, including some of those 1/12 scale Ofna truggy things as well so nice variety in the class. I believe a Durango or 2 may get ran soon too in the class here.
