Default RE: Mt/Engine chart!

I know there are some of you guys who are really into these charts, so don't get too mad at me about this... but I think they are all screwed up in one way or another. The original MT chart is nothing but a copy and paste of the manufacturers advertising claims. Oh wow, the Revo runs "40+" mph... thanks for clearing that up, as I had missed it in the 9,000,000 other places that Traxxas makes the same CLAIM. Who really gives a crap about the "claim to fame" either? Just more manufacturer created fluff.

Personally, I first came to RCU loking for REAL info on these trucks, and that chart completely disappointed me. It's nice to have a place to see all of the trucks where you can sort of compair them, but it offers nothing that any potential buyer could not get by simply visiting the manufacturer's websites. I understand the reasons for having it though, I just don't like the way it's done. You should either state ONLY the FACTS, or completely forget the whole thing.

^^^Those comments are directed at the MT chart. That engine chart looks okay I guess, but again, it depends heavily on the manufacturers CLAIMS.

Just my opinion.
