I finally got one!
I was at school when my mom messaged me that "the package" had arrived.
When I got home, the first thing I did was unbox it. That thing is fat! I expected everything to look way thinner and open for some reason.
I just finished my first run. Adjusted the steering trim and rate, and started at 50% thr. The steering was terrible. I noticed earlier that the wheels weren't properly aligned: I had toe out for some reason. Anyway, should be easy to adjust (if I had the tools). It steers very well when going backwards though
.
I also ran at 75% and 100% for a bit, but the street is cold and smooth, and there were a lot of parked cars. The neighbor girls started watching. After almost crashing and almost ramming my own ankles I put it back on 50%, as it has zero grip on asphalt.
I tried a standing backflip on a very small patch of grass on 75%. I landed on the roof and did a full front flip. Task failed successfully.
Now I'm decharging my LiPo for storage, and will run it on a proper field later.
I also noticed the motor and ESC were quite hot, even though it was night and I was running on 50%. I guess my drivestyle is a bit aggressive.
I have to align the wheels properly, swap out the diff fluids and find a relatively cheap cooling solution, like fans. What are some free mods I can do with limited amounts of tools?

), do you know how to get them loose? Just brute force it? Like I said, I barely have any tools.
