    When Rob mentioned they would have made the splitter support tubing out of inch and half is pretty cool. I don't think he realizes how much of his car is overbuilt. To get the most out of his car he would need to trim a lot of fat. For example the Rod Ends on the control arms, I think he addressed this in a video but he fixed the wrong the thing. I don't know how much those control arms weigh, but I know it's more than they need to.
    I'm saying this as a fan BTW, I'm just trying to provide productive criticism so the 4 rotor can be as good as it can.
    Rob if you read this, I can elaborate on the improvements I think you could make to the control arms, I don't want to type all that out if he don't see it lol

    I think its disingenuous to call a car a "raw racing car" because it has no "nannies"
    There are plenty of cars ive driven with or without nannies like say, ABS and it didnt make the car feel any more or less "raw". One lets you stomp on the brake, the other makes you modulate it more.
    Id argue and say the ones with ABS actually let you drive even harder, which makes the driving feel more raw.
    But i digress, Radicals are amazing entry level race cars.
