I almost bought a Rascal but the 2WD + .18 on a micro seemed to spell huge
traction issues in my opinion. Does it hook up decent in hard-packed
blue-groove dirt?

For that price, you could almost get a real 1/8 scale truggy and have
other people to race with. Or, you could get a GT2 and live with 2WD
for 1/3 the price and also have other people to race with.
I wonder what they were thinking.

I actually kind of like it. I think 1/12 is a great size for a new RC. Not
TOO small but still compact. It makes for another option for those who
already have other scale models. Ofna is introducing new scale classes like
this one, and like the 1/7th scale http://ofna.com/dm1-pro.html. Figure on
prices dropping as the items "newness" wears off.
I imagine eventually all the scale sizes will be covered before it's over
and done with.
