I think part of the issue is as per above (not being critical of you personally, more a general point) in that multiple cars are able to be used on race day by the same driver.
RC Racing is the only form of racing I've been involved in where I have, for arguement's sake, 5 races at a meeting and I can use 5 different cars, 1 for each race!
Everywhere else I could make changes to components, but the actual chassis/engine has to remain the same once I've completed scrutineering (with possible dispensation for extenuating circumstances).
Maybe if you had to stick to the same car for the whole meeting, we wouldn't see people use a 2wd specific for 2 qualifiers, then a 4wd hybrid for another 2, then whichever they prefered in the final. You should enter a car for the meeting and stick with it. Having 2,3,4 different cars already to go in different configurations for different conditions isn't talent, it's cash/ manufacture backing.
