There you go, the only complaints about the Losi are coming from Mugen and Xray drivers...my point proven!
Do you guys think because the Mugen and Xray are more expensive that they are better... (sure, OK spend your money) and to comment on the Drake, you really think its just about how much he gets paid? lol His reputation is also a huge factor, I don't think he'll drive a car he feels will not benefit his performance.
Also everything will ware out after 9 months of continuous use. especially running in winter conditions.
