Get one decent driver, give him more batt/mot, and wins will come.
The marketing becomes more over the top and exaggerated since these companies are trying to sell new version of essentially the same ancient designs. I'm with you. I get why they do it but it does come off as silly.

And to be fair, I'm in the group that loves innovation but sticks with the same stuff that has been around forever.
