A1 Racing Club have a heat of 6 Strikes running on a mostly astroturf track, the Strikes are overall a strong car.
stock silver Driveshafts and Turnbuckles are very weak, Horizon have replacement black driveshafts which we have not managed to bend yet... and the racing can be carnage with the jumps we have built into the track (for 1/8th nitro)
Lunsford now do a Titanium turnbuckle set so that is fixed too.
We were trying to run the strike class as an 'out of the box' class to attract beginners to the hobby and it is fun.
After playing with motors and gearing, with brushless or hot modifieds the front becomes very light, the bodyshell's rub as they sit a bit low on chassis and the metal gears get noisy after a couple of runs.
For what you get for the price they are a great starter truck, i want to see how they compare with others as the class develops over here.
