There you go. Couple Kory's post above with Lee's post on the plastic chassis thread: it's a tuning option. At some tracks, for some drivers, flexy is best. At other tracks for other drivers, stiff is fast. With X Factory, you can have either or both.
There is a discussion on the Team right now relative to our porposed new 4WD car. Our buggy and truck offer more tuning options than any other company. People don't talk much about it, but changing tranny height makes huge differences in the car. Nobody else has that.
Some see the myriad of tuning options as a big plus. You can dial your car in perfectly to each day's conditions, and it's fun Doing The Math. Others say it's actually a disadvantage, that with too many options people get screwed up.
That last thing is sometimes valid, so we recently come out with new Kit standard set ups -- start there and you'll be fast.
Right now on the Team, the real question is not flexy or stiff, it's lots of options or few. I'm actually just one small voice on the Team -- Paul's is much bigger on these things than mine -- but I like lots of options + a standard set-up that works most places. That way you can work on set-up to your heart's content or not. Me? I never change my truck, just throw down and have fun wherever I go.
