No cause Associated knows fan boys will buy anything they release. It was like that back in the 80s and 90s, and it will continue until your wallets dry up
Depends on your goals I’ve won F main 13.5 stock in Polish Nationals with rear motor trf201 last year, and I’ll say that car had a couple of seconds in it with proper gearing and better setup
As a shelf queen, it would be kinda neat to do half painted, and on that half use the black parts, and only apply the setup tweeks and stuff to the painted side… worn tires on that side.. ect ect…
