Is it more stable? Turns better? Better weight distribution? There must be some reason why you're that much faster with the 720. Inquiring minds want to know!

BTW.. Is that a Stratus body? What happen to the M???
The 720 is very easy to drive. It seems like it has a longer wheelbase which makes the car very stable. It's hard to find the best of both worlds as to having a lot of steering and being stable at the same time, but the 720 does it beautifully. I'll try some more changes like gearing since we race in a smaller track compared to the big track like Vegas. The car's drivetrain is very efficient and free with the stock bearings that came with the kit which should be why the car takes off and accelerates very fast.

This was all on the first run of the car. A little upgrade here and there and some more playing with setup and this car can only be better .
