I finally got to run my Jumpshot MT V2 on 2S, and although it is for the most part very durable (anyone who knows me, knows I'm hard on stuff), I found that the servo saver is a really odd design:

I also found that, for as much as these trucks cost, they use the cheapest possible plastic geared servo I have ever seen (HITECH HS-425BB), that didn't survive a single battery before the gears literally exploded teeth:

Other impressions of it though, although it is extremely durable, with the brushed motor it's kind of slow, and, like all MT's, has a major tendency to torque roll with the slightest steering input. At or near full throttle, it pushes bad when you try to steer, and, will only turn if you let off the throttle. I would hate to see how much worse those issues would be on brushless power, so, like every MT I get, it will probably get turned into an SCT. It does seem to be a decent stunt truck though.
