Yeah, I got that when another commenter used the term lead foot, then scrolled up and saw how the other comments were jokes about right foot, ect, and how I got sucked right in.

I feel gullible now…

But seriously, thanks for the advice, I just like fun little cars, the ms3 is a great option!

Reply to How does having screw-in stabilizers make it easier for changes and upgrades? by Jorrozz

They really aren't.

In fact everything they claim is quite the opposite, PCB stabilizers are much worse when it comes to changes and upgrades, and they're much less stable.

  • You want to re-tune your stabs? gotta take apart the whole board.
  • You want to change the stabs? gotta take apart the whole board again.
  • PCB stabs don't have the plastic "frame" the plate stabs have, so they tend to be less stable and have more room to wiggle ^(I actually think it's better this way, sometimes the frame can add unwanted friction), the only ones that are very stable are the Staebies and they're prone to binding.

People like PCB mount stabs because they're secured with a screw and can't pop out like clip-in ones, but properly made plate stabs that clip in properly and sit tightly in the frame have no reason to pop out.

And since people like PCB mount stabs, manufacturers center their efforts into improving only PCB mount stabs so they tend to be better for rattle, although the plate-mount offerings are pretty decent.
