I fully understand the economic reasons for choosing the AE shocks, given the price difference. It just seems a bit weird that the "no-compromise" and "function over form" approach of X-Factory is being somewhat contradicted by the inclusion of the AE shocks...
I'm not saying that there is anything especially wrong with the AE shocks (and have no experience of the V2 units, which I understand address most of the common complaints of the V1's) but why include them in the EC kit if none of the Team drivers run them? If not Losi, then why not Kyosho (I believe Kinwald runs these?), Yokomo (seen on most AE team cars, pre-V2 shock) or even Tamiya (as suggested by DCM). I guess it's a question of cost again?
