Lookin good H! Building !
I actually met a guy at the local track this week that was running a Zeus around, it immediately made me think of your car. He was a huge S35 fan to boot but it was a Zeus day he said. He was pretty complimentary of HB and Caster as well but he was definitely Team Sworkz through and through. I like HB as well but I’m far less family with Caster. Anyway, I thought the Zeus was pretty sharp.

The quality of the S35 T2E Pro is exceptional. Think Xray levels of godliness. Not so much the manual or the fact I had 1 missing set of trackrod ends, but the parts fit and finish, not to mention the overall finished result is the best I've experienced.To me, it looked a lot like a shortened 1/8 truggy. To me it was much more reminiscent of a short S35. Kinda like a Notorious or Outcast. It was sharp and looked nice but it’s the only one that I have ever seen in person. Anyway, the guy driving it could move it around pretty well, I was pretty impressed with the quality. I assume that if the quality on H’s s35 is as good or better than the Zeus I saw, then damn, it’s gonna be really nice.
The Zeus II is pretty rare. Original Zeus came out a good few years ago, but you'd be forgiven for never having seeing them on the forums. Hardly anyone has them.

Sworkz have to be recognised for that, because they are offering these rigs at much lower prices than Xray or Kyosho.
The shocks are next level. My personal favourites were Mugen shocks, with Xray being on par with them. These Sworkz shocks are better than that. Literally - perfection.
This is the Zeus 1. The Zeus 2 is similar to a T2E.Found a nice video of a Zeus on YouTube, it does look fun!
I run similarly, most of the time it's my brother and I running around a track at my house. I have ramps, but only use them when I get bored of running around the track solo. Gets too expensive launching them off the ramps for my wallet.Wooow...so a direct alternative, huh? I'm tempted to bash around with a MT, but rarely do I bash. Most of my runtime is at a track. I have a MT410 that I was going to convert to an ET48; gonna cost me almost 200 more bucks to get it converted, with the chassis and shock towers being the most expensive parts. I was debating whether or not to break it down for parts, but it seems like a rather expensive pile.
Plus side is that it's easier to hide from the wife when it's in million pieces.
I hear ya KA, I think on some level most of us, even if it’s a small amount, are carrying around some form of damage due to circumstances in our lives, myself included. I struggled with life a fair amount as a young man mostly to circumstances beyond my control but once I was on my feet I pretty much, well try anyway, to be simply be a good person and treat people better than the treatment that I received. I had many years of paycheck to paycheck and to this day, I will still catch myself checking my balance before walking into the grocery store. Old habits die hard.No purchases get past my wife's eyes, well nothing big, over say $100. LOL Sadly, over a hundred is big in our budget. Our finaces are shared acrossed the board essentially. I'm at the low end of the economic scale. By intention. I have no desire to worry about work, or what may or may not get done after my shift. To me, that's priceless. Paycheck to paycheck. We raised 2 girls, put them through school, weddings..still paying for it 5 years later, and will continue to for another 5 to 10.. my philosophy is, no retirement, work till I die. Our leaders have made sure of that. Most die after they stop working anyway, I'd prefer to enjoy life while I'm able bodied. I drink occasionally, social gatherings, so about 3 times a year, which is how often I feel sociable. I do enjoy some sticky icky from time to time, but the last was at least a year ago. Rc's are my only real hobby. Workout, never, eat well? Well, I'm a good eater, that's for sure!!
Watching my mother die from cancer for 10 years as a kid didn't do much for my outlook on life, having a father who seemed to hate his own didn't shine much light either, LOL. My brother and I were worthless pigs, dad's words. Well, my bro is an alcoholic and I got hooked on cigs, pot and booze early on, I shed most of the bad habits.. now vaping for the last 6 years. Better than smoking I think, and certainly better than being a miserable SOB like my father!!
All true brother!!
