New Era makes a nice LOOKING car but a Walbern or litespeed ready to race weighs just as much as a New era empty, i had one had $500 worth of motor in it and was getting beaten by stock OS.12 in a walbern, JUST because of weight when i swapped chassis it was like a whole new car
Also, new era can be a pain to deal with, every time i tried to get parts for their car they were out, it took me 6 months to get a 2-speed from them, i never had a problem with parts from walbern
