T bars cars are better for high bite tracks and mod racing. Its easier to dial out traction with a T bar car.

Link cars are goos in low bite or stock racing. They can have more rear end grip.

I like T bar cars because thay are simpler work, on all surfaces and they are proven consistant winners of big races.

Damper plates and tubes do the same thing. I they bothe work well but plates require a bit more maintenence to stay consistant. Damper tubes are the hot setup now as you can build them and they work for quite a long them before needed maintenance.

The besat cars out now are mod of the AE RC12L3 like the Quad 12, Hyperdrive, Rug Rat, T-Fource, etc.
