To me this is more like an evolution then a FTW mod. Like Barry I think my car might have been a hair slower with the BB springs on the fast lap, but I can say with 100% confidence that I enjoyed driving it a whole lot more and it made the car better and as a result it made me better.
For people looking to make the car better BB's are the only way to go, for people looking to go fast they are likely not required.
The point was that most people would benefit more from $10 worth of practice than they would $20 worth of springs.
I KNOW (and so do most others) that practice will make just about any normal RC racer 'faster', if for no other reason than building reflex/muscle and sight picture memory for success.
