As for having people bow down to me....RC is a hobby for me not a job. I don't need people nor do I want people to bow down to me. Perhaps you view it as such because I happen to have an opinion just like you do. Except that you can say whatever you wan't and what I say is wrong because I am sponsored by Xray. This is a pointless topic and it is not only a dead horse it has already been to the glue factory more than once.
Have fun with your minis......
Sincerely,
Smug Xray Driver
P.S. Don't forget to bow....

You are using out of these world examples just for the sake of winning a r/c arguement.
From your previous examples like the reedy invitationals or the worlds there is no doubt that equipment does matter because the drivers are so close talent wise. A good example would be Paul L. since his name was brought up already. He showed up to the reedy race one year with a prototype that they didn't have a chance to test and he finished close to the bottom that year and I think everyone will agree that Paul is one the more talented drivers in the world to finish that low.

The TC3 is still a good competitive car.
Now douht a driver will easily kick the crap out of any mediocker driver.
But what happens when mediocker becomes the guy driving the TC3?
Does he go out and buy a TC3?
Differant kits are better in quality. Thats all.
New roar rule: All sponsered drivers are now required to drive Traxxis.
Would they win? It would be interesting to see.
I'm taking a TC5 for a test drive after running Xray sense EVO2.
A VW wagon will Get you from A to B, same As A Ferrrari.
Xray is the ferrari. Fact.

Corally vs. Xray same blue prints. Different manufacturers.
Which would you buy? At the same price.

Personal driveing, as if there were no sponsored drivers.

There is a difference in Kits. And it will be interesting to see.

There's the possibility that he would have finished in the same spot with his current setup. You can't predict what would have happened or simply blame it on equipment...that's a cop out. I'm sorry if you believe a chassis makes all the difference in the world. The difference is minimal. If you believe Paul Lemieux only wins because of a proven chassis...then you are giving no credit to his driving skill. If you think it's as much chassis design as it is his driving skill...you're still not giving him the credit he deserves. Get real folks, if you think buying that new chassis will make you a better driver then you're out of your mind. New gear doesn't increase skill...only time behind the wheel.
You seem to only focus on x-rays wins in regards to the drivers. I was just pointing out that winning races is not just about the driver but its about the driver and equipment. I agree that nothing replaces practice and thats a given. Trust me I do respect paul l. thats why I used him as an example that you still need competitive proven equipment to help maximize your talent.

And I'm not an xray driver before you start. I actually regularly wind up xray drivers about my Cyclone being better

Are you sure you are posting in the right thread?
You seem to be having your own personal conversation.
I dont see anyone responding? Whats up with Traxxis?
Did you get attacked by a group of TRX-1s as a child?
Not that this thread had anything to do with ANY 1 manufacturer...
But your out of left field ramblings are weirding me out??
You ok?
