Some metric screws have nicer threads and for example Kyosho/Mugen plastics have a very good feel to them. Too tight or too loose is bad, the holes in the plastic parts of course.

My wife's sisters girlfriend heard that Ae decided not to use fan drive because it would create dust and dry out the tracks.

Then Russian titanium must be purchased first before any American or other country of origin titanium.

Trump will get Russia to give us all the titanium we need - like a boss. Ti chassis, screws, motor plate, everything in the new car, same price. It's why AE is holding out.

Tools, bearings, spare hardware. There's no technical problem with SAE, it's just extra burden to keep stuff handy for it.

Looks like the entire rear suspension and diff housing can be moved to create different wheelbase settings without having to change the chassis length.

it even has the same options of moving the rear shocks like the 15 & 16 XB4

Screw mounts, holes and locations are spot on with the XB4, LOL
