well, my shen runs surprisingly well.... at least, with my formula 34 motor... I can't wait until later this week when I recieve my other 5 motors, 150 mah, and official bc-g from Kyle (bit-char g motors.com).... That way I can really test the track, because right now it is VERY difficult to control, at least I am the only one that can control it :lol:


but no, the banking doesn't really slow you down a lot
