How worn are your fronts? Suburbs can lose a lot of steering if they are worn down, and ss can wear pretty qucik. Also, you might want to try using more than 2/3rd stock foam on the next set.

It also helps to check ride height every run. 1mm can make a noticeable difference. What does the rest of your setup look like?

Couldn't agree more. What a waste. Every other company can make a car that does both. A lot to risk to try the MM and then if you don't like it then you have a paper weight and have to buy the RM. I think I will wait a month or so and get an awesome deal on a C4.2 and call it done.

Every other company? Do you possibly mean every comapny other than the last 5 to release a 1/10 2wd buggy? The last 5 being AE, Serpent, Yokomo, Shumacher & Team C (they used to do a convertable, but their most recent car is dedicated mm). That leaves Losi, Durango, & Kyosho as the only companies that make convertables.

So, which do you work for, Losi, Durango or Kyosho? jk

Buy the RM first then. It's said it will be coming out first anyway. Also, if you can afford more than one RC at a time, you can afford to have both, find out which one you like, and sell the other.

None of the above but really the three you named are the only manufacturers people run in these parts so yes those are the three I was referring to.

I find it amusing how a brand takes off in 1 area while another takes off in other areas. In Alabama we have 70%-80% AE, 20%-30% Losi, 1 guy occasionally runs a Kyosho, & another runs Shumacher, & that's it. No other brands represented at all. No Durango, no Yokomo, no Team C, & no Serpent (yet). For the last few years AE has ruled the roost with a few Losi's for 1/8, but Mugen has exploded recently.

Around here folks switch brands like I do shoes. Whatever the next latest is, everyone has to have it. Mostly between Kyosho, AE and TLR although now a few Xray buggies are showing up. Everyone had to have the 22 when first out, then it was the RB6, then just about everyone is running the Centro. I am sure the B5 will be next. That's funny how it works that way.
