Some very good points made
Once I tried someone elses car and for me, it understeered like crazy and was very smooth on power!
Yet, they could still make the A with it and be just as competitive as anyone else.
My car is lot more responsive on throttle and steering, I like to feel the car doing something when I control it. Yet, I do think by being smoother I would up my pace.
It makes you open your eyes a lot when you see how different people race a different race and that r/c is a constant learning curve, even for me after 16 or 17 years of racing.
