RE: Most over used RC chassis?
Well, my point is that you can have the same chassis on multiple cars and stillget different handling characteristics on all of them by tweaking the suspension, gearing, etc. The 1/16th Revo for instance drives WAY differently than the 1/16th Slash. I don't really get your point Himmler. We all know you can change stuff on a single vehicle and get it to handle differently. I'm talking about different cars for different applications based on the same chassis, but not the same suspension or steering geomery orwheels, etc. Regardless of the same chassis, the cars are DIFFERENT.

Perhaps, but most of the people who buy these cars aren't going to care. No one is seriously going to race these things with dedicated racing sedans. The size alone would tell you that.

Too many people act like these cars should be lumped in with dedicated on road sedans. Most people are gonna bash these cars and that's it. That's what I do with them. I have fun with friends and family members. To us it's all about going out to the local park on a weekend afternoon and running these cars against each other. Nothing more involved than that. That is, I believe, where Traxxas aims to market these cars.
