Whats this obsession with mechanical brakes? I know people say so you can adjust front/rear bias, less motor load etc, but every EP car in existence does it with no problems.

Does it really make that much difference to performance?

I think there are pluses and minuses to both setups.

Adjustability vs complexity.

going on the rrp of 669 and how stormer regularly cut that price in close to half, thats 350usd for a roller that just needs motor, speedy and servo.

thats if they stay true to form like the rc8 electric buggy.

could end up being a big field of 1/8's
