a 4oz servo and some linkage isn't going to change the handling... id be more apt to lean to the tekno as the battery tray sits a lot lower and makes for a lower COG which will impact the driving more than loosing a servo. The balance front to rear and side to side is really what I'd like to hear about from someone who has raced both types. As a matter of fact if you wanted to run motor brakes you just leave the linkage and extra servo off and use them w/ the tekno... it's not mandatory or anything ;) I'd also like to hear about the floating motor mount vs using tekno's awesome chassis mounted motor (lower cog and no chance of damage).
