i had the pleasure of riding one of buddies scx’s up at school a little while ago. It has a really smooth feel, but its a little heavy. It took the technical stuff with ease, and was really smooth on the uphill. I didn’t do any drops or big downhill sections with it, so i really cant comment on there. If it wasnt for the price i would be picking one up as well, but as they say you get what you pay for.
