Hey MD,
yes, alot of people are still running Datsun and Yota running gear... and yes, it's a cost thing. If you go to one of these events, have a look around after each stage at the people who are changing CV's/shafts/etc... guess who they are?
It's pretty simple - you break a CV (or whatever), you point out and get 40 points. You do that on a couple of courses and there is 80 points... even if you are 1m from the end of the course, you still get the 40 points (minus a few points for progress gates).
If you want to be competitive, build it so it doesn't break. If you just wanna get involved and build from there, use what you can afford and get amoungst it!
Watch the top 3 placings from now on and you will see that the guys who are in the winning circle have learnt how important it is NOT to break...
S.
