Hey how is the team magic G4?

Sweet! I like it alot. It can pull a taller gear than my Reflexes because all that lower rotating mass with the tiny 30mm centax and the new M0.8 2 speed isn't just hype.

It handles better than my Reflexes both on power and off power steering wise, although it does have a small problem with forward bite when you put a really high horsepower motor on it. I put my NovaRossi RS12 T5S1 on it and had problems with it blowing the tires off exiting corners. I calmed the motor down some and thing got better. The did reset our local track record first time out with the standard set-up in it.

The steering rack requires plenty of attention. It must be cleaned and adjusted proerly in order to keep it working correctly and smoothly. Since I tear my cars down every week anyway it's no problem for me, but it may be an area of concern for anyone who isn't so dedicated to maintaining a car.

But in all honesty, I like the G4 better than my Serpents & my Reflexes. It is leaps and bounds ahead of my Serpents (Impulse Pro and 705) and it is an improvement over my Reflexes.

I'd reccomend the car to anyone wanting one.
