Do you mean PCR vs PBS? The PCR has lay down servos, lowering the center of gravity...
Yes..........and..........no, if you do a search you can find the last time we discussed this subject, but to cut a long story short.... The laydown servo lowers approx 1.17g, approx 1.3mm in the chassis, or something like that, basically having absolutely no meaningful effect on the handling whatsoever, that is not the real advantage of the laydown configuration. I am told that you get slightly more steering throw from the laydown version, but haven't seen them both together to know for sure. The disadvantage is that they (the laydowns) are a ***** to work on, and even the throttle servo configuration is slightly different. I looked at the evidence and decided on the PBS myself, as I tend to screw around with my steering settings frequently, and didn't want to waste time with difficult servo mountings. I have also heard of a couple of people who took the PCR and now wish they had the PBS...[:-]
I didn't say they greatly improved the handling... I just stated they will lower the center of gravity slightly!
