I have been doing some testing with the normal Jester, race Jester, normal Massacro and race Massacro on one of my own race creations and i have come up with some interesting results which has confused me some what.
Now firstly the 2 Jester Variants the results i found with these didnt suprise me too much firstly the dont like curbs lol and the race jester for me was 2 secs faster the the normal one. So not really too suprised with the results there
Now here is what has confused me somewhat both the normal and race car Massacro for me were quicker than the race jester. But I think that that may just be because they suit my driving style a bit better. But the thing that got me the most is that i got better lap times with the normal Massacro than i did with the race Massacro anyone else found this? I also foundbthe normal one was better to drive

Just inconsistent driving on your part. The Massacro is inferior to its race counterpart in traction but other than that they are identical. You should see equal or slightly better results with the Racecar version and thats what how its been for me when I use it.

Possibly was yeah the normal one was only .2 quicker like but to me felt better to drive and was a bit more chuckable (if thats even a word lol) |

Not really sure what you mean by chuckable other than maybe powersliding? Less traction would make that easier although its not exactly a good thing to powerslide.

Nope like trowa said the racecar versions have more traction and the jester even has more power, His testing is just done really bad. i myself do some testing and can sometimes find a margin of 1 sec between 2 good laps so you need to do at least 50 laps before u can take a conclusion.

I think he means it's easier to drive it around corners, as in you can take a corner at a slightly faster pace. When someone says chuck I associate it with the word throw and when people say they are throwing a car into a corner they usually mean they were going way too fast and powerslide. Some cars powerslide much more cleanly that others but its in no way faster and you are losing momentum. The dominator for instance is "great" for chucking into corners but driving like that is slower than dogshit. The Racecar Massacro is better in corners as it has more traction to work with. |

I guess it depends on who you talk to more, over here the D1NZ guys (drifters) and V8 guys (racers) both say 'chuck it into the corner', but of course with different meanings. |

Looks like more testing/practice is in order

RC Massacro has a better turning circle then the normal one so you may have slightly oversteered in some corners which could have lost some time as well.

I did a lot of races on my own yesterday in a number of cars, and this is what I found: - Massacro racecar has more grip than the original. Try driving the two, in turn, and notice the difference. - Jester racecar certainly feels more powerful than its standard counterpart. - The jester, in both variants, seems to be a very forgiving car. It's hard to lose control in those things, at least more so than the Massacro, anyway (even though that is hard to spin out too). And something I had forgotten; - The word 'racecar' is a palindrome.  |

Hey there smitveedub aka inFamous_Smithy, i think i know where u are coming from. I too sometimes like to race my normal but non-race Massacro over the race car version. As others say, & i agree, the race car does have better traction. And this is where i believe the "chuckability" comes into it!? On entering fast/tight corners in non-race Massacro, i quickly lift off throttle a microsec, Then i find i can gain a tighter angle to make a tighter line! without the lift-off & almost oversteer, i would end up too wide! (this can end in oversteer & then powersliding, but in my case i try to catch it b4 it breaks away). But in the racecar version, when i apply this method, becuse of the better traction, u get a different reaction ie: u wont get to the stage off oversteer in the same situation as in the non-racecar! So methinks maybe its just a matter of adapting to the better traction!? Does this sound close!? I cant say about the Jester yet as i have got the racecar, but not modded it yet! Im sure this applies to all consols! Btw, miss the fun races with ya smitveedub aka inFamous_Smithy! We've had some good ones in the Massacro's lol.  |
