The other consideration for bashers is the additional weight gains from all the ally bling additions. This obviously has an impact on the all important power-to-weight ratio.......
Hypethetically speaking.........
4.5hp engine in a 20kg full ally bling car = 0.225hp / kg
3hp engine in a 12kg std plastic car = 0.25hp / kg
The 3hp is down on power but the weight savings will make for a very close contest I like my std plastic car :lol:
My marder was plastic from the tank forward (later added alloy hubs with hydros) - a belting car.
