We'll see what happens, but I don't think it will be much different from mi3.
Good luck schumacher!!

very good way to put it. every car gets dumped for the next best thing or the next hype.
it all depends on how much time you're willing to put into the car to make it handle the way it should and the way you want it to.
an RC car is like a real automobile and a girl.... you're first will never be you're last!

the motor mount looks to be the same as the CAT, i have not had ANY issues with it. I DON'T WANT A HEAT SINK ON IT. the car is amazing looking even without a servo saver, in the past two years my Mi3 has worked just fine without one. The Fit and Finish of my Mi3's is perfect, no grinding, bending, sanding needed for assembly, it goes together flat and stays that way. I expect the same from the Mi4. With the improved bulk head design along with other changes I expect to have to add weight now. Great Job guys,
Adam, you have my CC#, put me on the list and don't send it ground UPS.
I'm going to Reedy so if you don't have any for sale yet, send me yours or Shawns demo model to put on display.

to all the schumacher fan boys
Like I said, I hope schumacher does great and the mi4 lives up to the hype. I just gave my observations.
A good driver will make any car look great, period. Unfortunately, there are few truly talented drivers (I am not one of them by far.)
The rally cry for schumacher is: I don't like xray, so I'll get something different. In my book, that's not a good reason, unless you are sponsored by schumacher. In the end, you will spend more money and the best results you can hope for will be similar to those if you just bit the bullet and got the xray.
Of the cars that I own, I like the Losi type r the most because of how quickly it transitions, but if I had to finish the race, the losi is not the car to have.
To each their own.

After all we can say that all of the usual "top" XRAY drivers were struggling more than usual and the car simply did not work so well in these conditions. We are still not sure why. I was confident that my usual setup that I have been using at various tracks before the race would work but it didn't. Sometimes things just don't work out. But it sucks when it happens. (source)
For a car that's apparently been hand-crafted by God himself, it sure has been a massive failure outside of a few foam tire races in the US. No worlds, no ETS, no TCM, etc. If you want to race the 5 guys still running foams, get the XRay. If you want to race rubbers like most of the US, and the rest of the world, there are clearly better options at the moment, optimization be damned. Face it, XRay makes a very good car with a high level of precision, and you pay for it. All that has meant precisely nothing on the track, both in the hands of the fast hobbyists a the pros.
