Looking at the drawing for the 1268, it looks pretty beefy. Maybe the high torque servos are a little on the large size for this car, but not sure. The high speeds seem a little sleeker. I'm guessing that's what most folks run.
I run the stock plastic horn and don't see a need for aluminum. A suspension arm will rip off the car before steering components fail.

Well of course it is my opinion. His question will only get opinions. That is like asking what motor is "best", all you will ever get is opinions. I have both cars. I rarely use my RM car since I only race high bite indoors. But when I goto lower bite tracks, it is much "easier" to get the RM car going. If you have a boat load of tires, pistons, brass weights and you want to sit there tuning all day, I am sure you can make the MM work for you. But, if i am going to show up, having never been on the outdoor track and I am looking to get 1-2 packs at most of practice, the RM car IN MY OPINION is easiest to set and go. I have seen so many guys struggle day in and day out for months trying to get MM "right" outdoors. The problem here is perception. How do you perceive loose? I used to think I was racing on medium bite tracks. Because they were way more traction than the outdoor texas tracks I raced on. I had always used studs and step pins. I came to AZ and guys were on holeshots and 3d's. So I figured that was medium bite. Then I went indoor and raced race on m4 suburbs, thinking that was high bite. That was my experience and my perception. Then I was told by california guys that that our indoor track was low to medium bite. I thought they might be a little looney. Then I went and raced at warehouse 3 and was like WTF, this must be mega traction. lol. Now I race at SRS and i have to re-evaluate my scale. We can pull wheelies everywhere. There is no line with tons of traction. The traction is the entire width of the track. So what you think is low bite or high bite is your perception. I see videos all the time of guys saying "This is me racing on our lowbite track". I watch the video and laugh because I can see the rubber groove going around the track. I dont see any rooster tails. And if the traction is low, I can see the driver checking up everywhere. It is all opinions and perception, when it comes to the "best".

Ok so indoor season is upon us, I looking to buy a c4.2 or a 5m. The problem is that I may not have enough funds for a 5m and the c4.2 are dirt cheap. It is worth saving up and get a 5m? How much better were your lap times? All help is welcomed.

Even if he had one the world titles with a RM 20 times over its still only his opinion.
Clearly i'm being very sexist by assuming Wildcat is a he
