Equal testing
I have recently read an issue of a competitor of RC Driver. In that issue they tested most of the competitive touring cars. They determined a winner for belt and shaft drive. My only let down was the unequal testing. They tested the cars in stock form(ex. they ran on a open track and left the XXX-S with a front ball diff, while the competitors had one-ways). This ruins the point of determining which car is the best. If someone has the money to buy a $300 kit than I'm sure they have the money to put hop-ups on it and make modifications.
So, I'm trying to say that a new standard could be set by Driver. When testing RACE cars, they could do all the modifications that real racers do to make them faster. Then a winner would come from the best car in race form.
