Being AE it will bring in people.

Making the jump to a pan car looks scary with all its small parts and tiny electronics, but in reality they are just as easy to work on and dial in as a Mini Z once you get the aspects of tweaking at this scale, at least to me on the GLR. The ease of driving and handling make learning them VERY MUCH WORTH IT! I would suggest getting a platform that has been out for a bit, so you can do plenty of reading on it's setup! The GLR may be older, but it's still fast!

The AE 1/28th has some cool aspects, but time will tell if they follow through with it, I hope so! 1/28th scale is GROWING now, which is AWESOME! The Carbon Fiber pan cars and the 3D printed chassis being put out now are NICE!!!! It's always good to have a big, well known name supporting the scale you run in, at least when they do it right!
Where are you seeing the rear side springs? I must be blind because I’ve looked through the manual several times and I'm not seeing them. I see side dampers in the rear, no springs.
