Some of my "results":
X-5 chassis cracked in 3(!) places during a race (large jumps, no crashes). That was almost embarassing after having bragged about the car so much...
DDP hinge pins on the X-6 snapped right off (never happend on ANY other of my cars before)...
X-6 chassis broke on the first race (again no crash)...
Every time I tell this you guys reply "that's strange" and "never happened to us". That really does not help me at all...
Come on! We're not born yesterday! There is NO perfect car, neither is the X-5 or X-6!!! Don't get me started on the X-5 belt skipping or old pulleys...
You also know that a well designed chassis has to have some weak points! It's better that one piece breaks off in stead of you bending everything! On the B4 you eat front lower wishbones for breakfast. And I think that's perfectly OK! Why don't you make your perfect version that never breaks? With free replacement parts maybe? 
Maybe I drive like an idiot and our climate is out of the ordinary... but your plastic is NOT fantastic!  Neither is this attitude! IMHO the graphite chassises were way too brittle. Maybe it's better now... but I sure as hell wouldn't make these statements...
Now stop it please and come to your senses! I was finally about to have some company over here from some other X-cars... If you continue like this I'll still be all alone...  |
I hate to say this SHY, but this comes accross as arrogant and false in my opinion.
I spent several hours on the transmission when building my new X-5 squared a couple of weeks ago and all I had to touch when I put it on track was the slipper, it's had several runs and is still spot on. But that's not what we're debating here.
Maybe what DMS is saying was lost in translation, but what he is saying is that the new X6 squared parts, which you may not have seen yet, are of
outstanding quality.
