Pagani's design language is consistent enough.. that it doesn't really matter. Hah!

There be body rules becuase that kraken is real! Downforce matters. Drag matters. My TA07 went from scary high speed handling, to perfectly happy, with the addition of a USGT legal wing.

All of them. We are loving all of them. Any motor made within the last year is going to put you in the podium if you can just manage to hit the wall less than the next guy.

Could we we please stop propegating the motor of the month myth? It does not exist for 99% of drivers/racers. Any difference, perceived or real, is negated the first time you smack the boards or overshoot a corner.

Besides, we all know the only way to win is with a lightweight body :rolleyes:

But if you don't hit a wall or overshoot a corner and those guys drag yer ass down the straight and drive outta yer life with their 25.5 ;) yer gonna want to know what that motor was. ;) No?
I like R1wurks stuff, motors, batteries, speedos, servos, fans just to be sure I can hit that wall or overshoot that corner as fast as anyone else. lol
Why not take some of the pressure off the driver haha

What's the best motor? What's the best battery? What's the best speed control? What's the best tires? What's the best radio? What's the most aerodynamic VTA body? (Yes, someone really did ask that)

Too many people think all the answers can be found on line. No one wants to do the work to find out what works for them.

Yeah ,I know there are too many , " Whats the Best" questions BUT they dont want to be the people who know " What it Ain't " so people ask . I don't want to spend $100 on a Lemon motor either.. you can spend alot of money in this hobby to find out what works for You.

I guess there are those that have never asked or copied what the fast guys are using. ;)

What is the "best" is incredibly subjective whether it is barbeque, puss ah well, or kibble and bits for RC cars. The best answer that can be truthfully given is what the best that each individual has experience with. Anything beyond that starts to head in the direction of here say and an arguable point of contention.

Ask those those questions on RC Tech and you will get as many opinions as there are registered users. Go to the local RC track and say "hey I'm new and I'm not sure what direction to go" and you'll get much better answers. Generally if you buy from a quality manufacturer you'll get very close. Buy cheap, get cheap.
