So are we now saying then that during all the pre release testing that a cf chassis was never tested? and if it was then why only now have the top lads decided to use it?
I'm baffled

Yes all this is for your own goods, having new cars and chassis brought out every few months, and the influence of advertising and rc porn to convince you that you don't need to stick with a car and work with it are good.
Catering for the needs of people who don't pay for their own gear is the right thing (oh thank you daddy) please continue to spend money that should be used to improve the the lives of yourself and your family with us its the right thing.

Thank you for being sheep and never questioning the motives of others who would happily see you out of pocket, Oh and no young people with low incomes but with skill don't matter, only middle age sad people have disposable incomes, I mean value.

I think juddy has made his view clear and in some ways I agree. The fact is we live in tough financial times and for a lot of racers out there, money is a concern. Throwing money at hop up parts because your favourite top driver uses it doesn't necessarily make you a better driver.

I myself race on a budget and wanted a centro. I couldnt afford one so i made one from my x6. It cost about 30 quid to make and 20 quid of that was the body and undertray. The chassis was free. please note the two carbon strips to stop chassis bending.
