I agree with you so much on this point.
As a TA05 owner, right now the TA05 is mirroring the lifespan of the MR4. And I keep trying to convince the people on that thread to take a look at what happened with the MR4. Yokomo took a really fast flexable car and "improved" it until it was a REALLY slow stiff "pro" car.
Yet people continue to call for a super stiff plate chassis, all graphite components, and an all around stiffer version of the TA05.
No matter how good a car is out of the box, the grass is always greener with hop ups. If it comes out of the box stiff, they want more flex, if it comes out of the box with flex, they want it stiffer.
