I know I am only recently back in rc, so not the best qualified to answer, but I recently switched my bmax2 to rm layout and switched to plastic chassis from the worlds alloy I normally use. I have to say that the few indoor (slippery) meets I have run at in rm layout have been superb fun. I know my set up is not good and my driving even worse, but it is genuinely great fun to drive knowing that the back end is swinging out at the corners.
I'd not object to the original hypothesis, but know that it is only a topic for discussion
