i come from a MX and downhill mountain biking background. flex is a frequently desireable to make the bike more stable in the chop. but is that the same way with slop in r/c's?
simply put, yes. The "tighter" a car is the more precise the chassis movements are and the more reactive the chassis will be to adjustments. This is typically a good thing but it can be a handful to deal with on a bumpy or blown out track. The
little bit of slop that the Kyoshos develop is good in my opinion. They get a little wiggle and then never get anymore and as mentioned before, they hold their slop better than a vast majority of other vehicles.
