This thread is turning shite....
You can't compare changing a PT with the cost of tyres and replacing them. Most replace tyres when they have lost their usefulness, same as if we break something, cause if we don't, we might as well not bother racing.
We don't generally go out to buy a new speedo or servo unless one is causing an issue or we have an extra chassis, and most don't swap radio's either, lots upgraded their modules to go from analogue to digital, but haven't felt the need to change again.
With the PT, it isn't that RC3/2 doesn't work, it isn't that MRT PT's don't work, at my club, the only PT we have ever had trouble with was a Harry. So when you are being hurded like cattle to dump your MRT for a Harry then it kinda stings for most club racers. I also don't believe that MRT even factored into RC4 either, just a coincidence that they have tightened tolerances etc.
But please, stop comparing essential expenditure (race fee's, fuel, tyres and breakages) with unnecessary expenditure like a new PT because the distributor has chosen to no longer support RC3 due to a new firmware.
