you would really notice a difference if all the molded components on the car were plastic instead of the graphite parts. you would want the graphite for high grip surfaces but all plastic for the low grip surfaces as the car will become more flexible as a whole and provided more forgiving and easier handling. kind of like losi and there ea3 molds. its really personal preference but i would go for a more forgiving car.. even tho the stock x11 is great.. but when the x11 rs comes out (hopefully soon

)i will most likely pick one up from tekin and put my big bores and aluminium suspension mounts on it. and call it good. that way i will have a complete plastic car.
