With mechanical brakes????????

No.

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?

[Nissanmania]

I think there are pluses and minuses to both setups.

Adjustability vs complexity.

i personally hate mechanical brakes, i know my nitro days were some 20 years ago and things have changed, but shit i still hate nitro and mechanical brakes. pain in the royal a-hole.

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
