I know a guy that had 3 different cars and just got his 4th and went thru 2 brand new radios and still can't beat me. I've only been racing 17.5 since Xmas and he's been racing for years. If you have enough time to test and practice you will eventually have whatever car you drive in that secret window where every change you make just makes it better. Oh and those 3 cars have been since january

Reedy
There is no reason to get rid of the T4. I qualified 4th at Reedy in 17.5. The Awesomatix cars were definitely good and they were in good hands. I can't blame the car for my bad performance that weekend at all. One of the biggest problems with the Reedy race is this year you needed to have an endless supply of motors at your fingertips, they were pulling them off the track at 240* in the mains.

My personal opinion is that the 17.5 paint dry class has become a motor and battery war again. This is the slower class but cost more? No wonder on-road is dying off here in the US. No place for the entry level guy to start.

As Sith mentioned previously we are still running foams and while you can run rubber, they are not competitive compared to the foams. We run on a type of industrial carpet in an exhibition centre so can't use any additives. Most guys run 40 on the front and 37 (shore) on the rear. 26mm all round. I was running a T4 with the spool but have since gone done to a gear diff with 100k oil in it. Not much difference in lap times but a bit easier to drive.
The fast guys running T4's are using 5k to 10k in their front diffs but I did not like the lack of drive out of the corners, but maybe that's why they are the fast guys and not me.
The rest is kit setup except for the springs, I didn't like the 2.7 all round, so run 2.9 front and 2.3-2.6 on the rear.

As the track is small (10x15m) the laptimes are identical.
As for tyres, I felt most comfortable with 42 front, 40 rear, although others use as high as 50. (Our track is high bite).
I have a brand new set of Enettis ready to go on
As my current car is 4+ seasons old (415msxx) it will be a bit of an unknown wether I can hold my own and get into the A with a new car!
Hopefully I wont have to spend anything,or very little getting the T4 dialled in on foam tyres.
Everyone in the A where I race does better with the diff up front, as you say, you cant get the rotation with a spool up front, the car pushes too much, push too hard and you are going into the wooden barriers with a risk of braking your car every time....
Not something I want to be doing with a £400 chassis
(well thats the street price once a diff goes in too)....

No obsession here. T4 still looking good on my shelf. Only gets raced or even run once every other month. On-road is dying off in this part of the US. Sad as it may be

With most racers only racing in smaller events, I don't see why they should concern themselves with what a select few are doing.
