In ROAR they have a 1/12th scale 4-cell class, when you know those cars could be made much faster. So surely we are not the first to recognize the value of keeping the cars down to a smoother speed.

Since the cars have less momentum and less speed difference between them, it is possible for them to nudge each other around a lot more without knock'n each other out of the race, thus staying in the battle. And the fun is in the battles.

Yeah we hardly ever break anything. We do wear things out, mostly the suspension joints.

We have experimented with that a lot. Probably in the next DVD we'll incorporate more camera angles, but noth'n beats on-board.
