Yes, the FF-03 is robust for regular driving when set up correctly. Replace worn bearings and monitor suspension pins to maintain long term reliability.
The chassis handles both smooth carpet and sealed tarmac well. Adjust tyre compound and small suspension tweaks to suit each surface for better grip and handling.
