Agreed weight is certainly a factor, but I just get really irritated when folks make generalizations that are misleading. I'm sure there will be plenty of Losi Strike owners that won't have any issues with their rigs whatsoever, and will win many races. And yet, there will always be someone out there saying how big a piece of junk the Strike is. You can give 100 people the same truck and get 100 different opinions. Such is life.
