What can you say is better about Eryx than the other competitors like T4 or BD7?
Good Question, for me the spec-r was a great car but the Eryx is flat out more consistent. as for the BD7 and the T4 i have not had those cars, but have seen and know people that do have them. the bd7 is a nice car as well as the T4. but for me it comes down to the little stuff. all three cars are superior quality to the rest of the field. i feel the serpent and xray surpass the BD7 in terms of quality tho. BD7 is like any other car out there. but where the xray and serpent stand out is the lower CG. that they are trying to achieve going with the shorter shocks and towers. but here is what i like best about the ERYX that the xray is lacking. True floating servo mount, spring steel spool outdrives that are double pinned to the spool, aluminum shocks. narrow chassis , ability to tune the motor mount via standoffs as a kit standard. amazing kit build (xrays have excellent kit builds as well) . the ability to use standard length springs is a big plus! Hell I even like the ball stud and ball cup combo. no options ar needed to be competitive. The diff is also very nice. no leaks to report and still very smooth.
like i said its the little things that count.
