Compare the Team O'Neil 2WD FIST and also see the wiki page on 2015 World Rally Championship-2 season. I would use for further evidence the fact that if you compare the FIST against the FOST in 2WD rally. There are tracks where the FIST has pulled better times, and when you compare them they are the tighter more technical tracks. The stock FIST will take a stock FOST in tighter courses and roads.
I think we are basically agreeing on the same thing, but to be clear. I thoroughly enjoy my FiST so try and understand that this has nothing to do with FiST-hating, it's simply being realistic. Over a road course, having higher corner speeds adds up really, really fast. On the flip-side, a stock FoST with an upgraded FMIC would most likely make a lot of time on the FiST simply because the heat is now better managed and it has more grip from the factory. The part that I agree with you in your statement is the stage 3 FiST vs stock FoST on a road course, and the sole reason for that would be the upgraded FMIC making the FiST significantly more consistent. It would win in a drag-race, but a poor launch could be the result in a loss because that's where the FiST handily outshines the FoST. When the FiST was Stage 3 and pro-tuned while the FoST was stock, the FiST could get in front and stay there, but definitely not pull away by any large amount at all. My gf and I lined them up more times than I can admit, and the results were always the FoST stock vs stock and mod-for-mod.
Nobody in this community wants to hear that, but it's true. third-gear.įor the most part I'm going to disagree-but only because I own both models and have experienced them back-to-back, repeatedly, in the same conditions and on the same roads. Click to expand.I mean acceleration as in third-gear vs.
