Default RE: the OFFICIAL R-40 thread !

The mugen, kyosho, and serpent arent much lighter than the R40. Infact there IS no advantage to acceleration in the weight difference - all you'd get is car reaction time. I ran a box stock R40 against my friends MTX4 on one of my local tracks. He ran the RB X12 while I had the OS .12TR. I kept up with him and passed him in some places. His only advantage was on the straight away. It just goes to show who is behind the wheel of the vehicle and has a better setup. The R40 stock has a really nice setup and the car is planted. Parts are cheap and you get tons in the trees which is why I stay with it for now. I run 8th onroad also (mugen) so having two mugen cars will really eat $$$.
