Cheers!
The main fundamental difference in the cars is the way the suspension arms mount to the cars. The photon uses plastic mounts that attach to the bulkheads, much like older Xrays. The 3 racing car has blocks which mount separately to the chassis, much like a HB cyclone or TRF car.

At big events, on asphalt with rubber tires, I can't remember a car other than a TRF, Cyclone, yokomo being on the money. Might be a coincidence but maybe not.
