Is it quite notorious that an all-plastic car often leads to more mechanical grip. You have less weight, less stiffness, more give, and your car becomes easier and faster than a all-metal aluminium basher car.

I think that the new hubs allow the car to have a little give, so you get a little more grip, maybe also less breakage of the wheel axles. And as you said, you also get the benefit of less wear and less unsprung weight. Win-win in my book

Wow I did it
You are spot on!!
The newer version are excellent allowing for the accuracy of the bearing fitment while having the flexibility and the strength at the same time.
