Default MM chassis

For anybody running MM on indoor clay:

I have spent a lot of time testing 2 side by side identical buggys, one with dimec and one with dimec20 trying to decide which chassis I think works better with my setup on my track. I was surprised to find that the dmec worked better. I was expecting the opposite, but found that the added flexibility in the chassis made the buggy feel more forgiving when the car got out of shape and also felt more consistant throghout the whole track. Since my track is relatively smooth and well groomed, I would have expected the stiffer chassis to work better, but it did not. I am not sure if this would translate into other style tracks or even to RM, but it definatley was a noticeable difference.

I now have a prototype +8 alum chassis that I am going to test, so I will share what I find when I am done.
