Weeeeeeeeeeeeell... how many velco straps have you seen on a F1 car? I think you'll only find them on the driver's shoes...
I've competed in so many different RC classes, and have had so many exotic cars. For instance the CNC machined & chromed SMP Slide, made in Switzerland. But when I received my first A-C conversion kit... I could kinda "smell" F1 when opening the box... that CNC machined carbon tub is simply the most porn & pure race bred RC part I've ever seen in my entire RC life!
I remember even as a kid when you for the 1st time could get sneakers with velco straps in stead of laces... it just looks too childish, even for a child!
But we all have our own preferences! And don't get me wrong - I love Team Losi!
Btw there's only one solution worse than a velcro strap:...
(and yes, I've seen that in a RC car...)
LOL! Yeah, I remember that Seinfeld episode about "silent velcro"
