Great thread. Nerdtastic

High speed camara - excellent idea. Also have a good look through Jimmy's photo's, there's some excellent ones showing the incredible suspension travel used and the behaviour of the cars. I'm always impressed by the amount of travel under braking, and fast cornering, and the squat under acceleration too.

It would certainly be a mistake to make blind direct comparisons between full size car thinking and 1:10th scale. For instance, many RC cars benefit from a degree of tunable chassis flex. I see the new Schumacher Cougar has a range of top deck tuning options for instance. In the full size race car world chassis flex is not something one would normally welcome.

Unless chassis flex is a crude way of overcoming the crudeness of simple piston & oil dampers..mmm..

Keep it up guys
