However, has anyone here done a comparison, or had any one of the other 2 chassis?
how do the cars feel against one another?
I have been driving for Associated for a couple of years. Together with a mate we drove the L4, R5, R5.1 and the R5.1 Inline. Associated has some nice cars. But the aluminum sometimes is just butter. Together with the other driver we bent like 10 motor mounts of the R5 in two season.
A big disadvantage of the R5.1 (inline) is that the motor pod tweaks like hell. If you just look at it, it's already tweakt. Now we are both driving the on-point and this is awesome. The pod almost doesn't tweak, and if it tweaks it doesn't tweak that much as the associated.
Also different is the battery position. I can position the battery in the On-point more forward and backward, and with the inline version you can online place it in one place.
I've tested the Associated with the on-point back to back, And i'm faster, I think due to the higher corner speed, with the On-Point with 3 tents at the fast lap.
SO for me I'm really happy to drive the on-point right now. For the CEFX I don't know. I haven't used it.
