You MUST see this video from WC 1986

1992 Kyosho (I participated in that race
)
Mugen driver Sanada was the fastest driver. TQ and in the lead af the A-main. Had the fastest laptime in the final. Due to the HEAVY rain in the entire main, his car broke down and Kyosho won. Crono and several Kyoshos had 5 shocks!! The chassis were in two parts, where the whole rear suspension
could move up and down due to a hinge between the two chassis parts
Boy, that video really takes me back! This is what allows us to see how far our current cars have come, the buggies in the video were bouncing around so much that they could barely remain upright. Softer tires, suspensions & big-bore shocks make a big difference
Just the same, I'd be curious to see how many seconds a lap difference there would be between an old Mugen/Yankee/Kyosho and a contemporary buggy.
