They are heavy and the frame has been know to crack. The TL is great for most high speed stunts but once you try to do slow technical stuff the TL would be one of my last choices.
You can see the TL in action at my site www.d-aces.com

im on my 3rd 1..
the first one had 15000 miles when the crank and front rod and piston took a poop
2nd one ran fine but 2nd gear was shot..
3rd and the one in the bike is the strongest runner since new..
im a pro at the TLR motors..
side note.. i dont stunt 1% of what some of these guys on here do.. so my TL hasnt had the abuse of Corys or others
Mine sees an occasionly wheelie but alot more twisties
