Winning Worlds is a huge accomplishment, but chassis design is not the primary difference between those who win and those who do not.


30 sponsored drivers? I don't know about that. Yokomo, Tamiya, X-ray, and Associated has a strong presence at the worlds and that encourages local drivers to pick their car. I've also seen X-ray provide a care package to anyone driving their car at the worlds. I've heard Yokomo did the same at another race.
