Yeah this thing doesn't give me too many issues. I've had it for a while now and I've been tempted to build it over the years but like you said, once you start doing certain things there's really no going back. It's funny because when I first bought it, majority of my friends dove in head first...
Did some driving at a local track a couple weeks ago. This was at the end of the day, after about 4 hours of solid practice I was able to link most of the layout. Feels good being able to do dumb **** in a controlled environment.
