Next question, one that hurts everyone: what's so wrong with the SD that so few people are racing it now (let alone win with it)? The TC3 still wins races, and the SD was up to par with the top cars last year, including the TC3... so why not anymore?

If it works for you, don't worry about it. Let's face it, 1/10th touring cars are pretty faddish - there's a general trend where no one wants to be seen racing 'last season's' car. It's always been like that. It was the same when 1/10th buggies were in their hayday.
I for one will not dump a car that I have put work into just because something else comes along.
The CGM is obviously a good car. But I for one plan to beat a few when the winter season starts - with my RS SD. As I race control rubber tyres on carpet, I doubt the CGM will have little (if any) advantage. We'll see!

I'd say that the stiffer G components do make the car feel more responsive, especially once the SSG's significant amount of chassis flex is reduced/eliminated. A bit like the difference between a TC3 Team and TC3 Factory Team. As I changed quite alot of stuff on the car over quite a short period of time, the effects I noticed were from a combination of changes - rather than 1 in particular. The most major of these, obviously, was the RS chassis. The car feels good now. I look forward to a much better season later this year.
My new Futaba 3VC might help a bit too ........

However, it would be a laugh to meet some different racers. More than likely I'd be asking you to help me set my car up!!
I'm alright on carpet - so long as it's blue
