Please don't take that as a rip, its not intended that way. Just trying to explain it a little bit. From personal experience, it does save on the car. It's not going to instantly save you tons of money, but over time it will a little bit. The difference is most noticeable if you are running brushed motors, but that will soon be a mute point I think.
No problem dude. I don't take much on here personal. Why don't people state that the excessive speeds cause quicker wear and tear on parts instead of making seem like if you slow the cars down, you will eliminate said wear and tear altogether. All moving parts will wear and fail and need to be replaced. It is just a matter of replacing them sooner than expect or later down the road.
