Steel outdrives to me cause a little more chatter with just a little loss in steering as well. But they don't wear out. I do keep a spare set of them on hand.

One key to less wear and tear is a smooth throttle finger. Otherwise it's just like an on/off switch with the drivetrain lashing back and forth wearing everything out.

Oh, and one thing I see different on Marc's car is the motor mount.....
Guess he's switched over then... maybe the indicator is that the motor doesn't have a label on it

Good spot on teh motor mount, looks like it has a little more material on it against the motor.

One thing else I've spotted, it looks like he's running the rear hubs fully back against the arm, as that looks like a 1mm rather than a 0.5mm spacer. In fact also looks like the wheelbase is longer all round too, as it looks like 3mm behind the front arm, and 3mm in front of the rear arm.
