I'm not sure if there's any advantage in 1/10 scale, as you only race for 5 minutes anyway, which was never long enough for the oil to overheat, and the cars are comparitively lighter, and you have far smoother tracks.

I think that comment just save me about $130-$140USD as i was seriously thinking about getting them after finding them online the other day. Just hit a stumbling block which stopped me buying them straight up was i couldn't find any spring sets to suit anywhere and they not listed on the yokomo site either.
