Talking both CWF lower decks here (with an Al chassis, the hysteresis is about zero as there is so much torsional "spring"). Imagine if the T4 had a single-piece motor mount...

Agree with you though - xray's plastics are second to none. Yokomo's are okay.

I currently have a 2015 BD7, I don't race indoors and don't crash that much, scales can be helpful, although I don't use any for balancing, more interested how the car performs on track.

Alloy chassis is great until it bends lol, no call for them for outdoor racing thankfully . Both are excellent cars though
