I think those guys would be just as fast if they drove Losis, but we'll probably never find out the answer to that question so it's a moot point. You know what I thought was really impressive about AE's performance at the nats? It wasn't just Cavalieri's sweep. It was the fact that big name 4WD factory drivers like Easton and Amezcua chose to drive AE 2WD buggies/trucks even though they weren't sponsored by AE. That's something that racers like me notice. So why did those guys go with AE instead of Losi?
It obviously didn't have anything to do with money or sponsorships.
