Like I said, we set them(Evolva and XR80) right next to each other. There were very few differences, none of wich seem to reduce the quality or performance of the XR80. For the price, it's a steal, you just can't beat it. I was looking around a bit, the MRX4 is $650, the Proceed is around $600, the the evolva can go for as much as $700! Those are just chassis, the XR80 comes with everything, including a starter. Our first 1/8th scale class race should be this Sunday. There should be a Serpant 950, an Evolva, an MRX3(I think that's what it's called), and 3 XR80s. I'll be sure to post links to race results...if we don't get rained out...

Our track is on the small side for 1/8th scale, so I don't know if that will skew the results.(driver skill are of course another variable) I have no idea wheather the size of the track will give one car an advantage above the rest. Any theories?
