Blazn:
No one is disputing that the U.S. has great electric drivers, but other countries also have their own drivers that we probably never heard of. In Japan it may seem that 90% of great drivers are Japanese, in HK it may be 90% of great drivers are Chinese & Japanese or both. Just a matter of perspective.
As far as car goes, The XXX-S is nice, but I prefer the layout of the KX-One a whole lot more. I like how the battery is centered, the servo is (close to) center, and the motor is centered. XXX-S has too much dead space in the center.
