just my .02- the mutilator handled as well as the lsp did yesterday. I agree that it is more of a basher truggy but it handles very well on the rough stuff as well as the smooth. comes hard out of turns and has nasty acceleration. The stance is a little higher then the lsp and you can tell a big diffrence driving the 2. seems to me like the muti is bigger and beefer than the lsp but the lsp is made for the track instead of beatin in the back yard. The only thing I could see the muti needed was a steering servo. The stock one is a little light on power. I know that thing is a hellofa lot easier to work on than the lsp!
