not that suspension is THAT much better just that everyone races on a smooth as butter surface with jumps and not the naturally evolving race track through repeated use.
@@corrie.welsh6272 suspension harmonics have been incorporated into the design of rc suspension nowa days . so, you are incorrect in your statement. drive an old car then drive a new car and you will see the difference is huge.
@@johntuffy5721 true, but when you run on tracks as smooth as concrete it is nothing compared to the tracks of the 80's maybe not the big drops of the "Supercross" style of tracks but the varying terrain heat after on the old tracks verses the consistent surface of new racks make tuning a necessity then verses now. Tune for big jumps and the sway bars compensate for the rest of the butter smooth track.
