Yes, I know the Evolva won the last 3 World Championships but it's the same guy who wins over and over. Some say a winning car is 50 percent driver 50 percent driver. With Collari I wonder if it isn't 60-70 percent driver? The guy has won 8 times! I bet if he drove for Lego car he'd win
Can't wait for the 960 '08 kit to go on sale.

I find Serpent documentation better than most (personally I'd say X-Ray is the best) and the latest versions are better than before. Kyosho is okay. Mugen definitely needs work. Serpent's inclusion of the setup guide is brilliant. When I ran the MRX I found a lot of fellow MRX drivers waited around for the top MRX racer to figure something out then we'd copy it. Not much is explained in the manual. When I ran Kyosho off-road a few years back I don't recall anything in the manual that explained settings. I don't believe the Evolva has a setup guide either but I could be wrong. With the 960 I read the setup guide and try what it suggested. Of course I still get suggestions from other, better drivers but at least with the Serpent I feel I can figure out how to dial the car in on my own.
If you say for argument's sake all 1/8ths on-roads are same in terms of parts quality, design, speed, racing ability etc I'd say the advantage still goes to the 960 because Serpent goes the extra mile to explain how each setup point works on the car.
