People tell me the newer cars are far better. But when I look I just see the same flexible plastic wishbones and hubs, flexible steering arms, flexible chassis, big overhang (compare it with the XX4 where the chassis sweaps up around the diff so not to dig in to the ground - this makes a big difference).

Granted, I could be wrong now although id need a lot of convincing personally, and no car is perfect anyway, but do collect your own information by asking when you go to Eden Park, ask Dom when you ring DC racing - he is honest, and will have recommendations too.

Thanks Chris, I did speak to Steve at Eden Park about it and he didn't put it down at all, seemed quite intruiged that we were going to be using it in fact. I'll call Dom at DC Racing tomorrow and have a chat with him. FYI the gear ratio is 2.35:1 now I think

From what I can see from reading up on it, it's hard to get hold of the kits in the UK, spares don't seem to be an issue, and it's pretty reliable compared to the old version. We'll see what happens I guess
