The driver counts, but if the skillset is close - the double deck CF car will win.
AAAAAHHHHH!!!!! the good old days of 23 turn brushed motors. When Timmy and me went to Japan they really dumbed down the speeds. It was sad to see 27 turn motors in GT-1 class with dumb down gearing run as slow as the mini's with Johnson motors. If Tim was able to run faster speeds I think his skills would have been more of a factor.
Timmy won using 13.5 brushless with boost and timing on a Tekin ESC for the Nationals , then having him run god awful slow motors in Japan was sad to see!
P.S. But, if we could we would do it all over again. I loved going to Japan!!!!!
