the mbx6 is the faster car I had and also very strong ...... I recommend buy mbx6 or mbx7 ....
Actually, in terms of front end grip you WANT Ackerman geometry and not Anti-Ackerman or "Parallel Geometry". Perfect Parallel geometry for steering isn't actually all that desirable because as the weight transfers to the outside it requires a greater slip angle on the inside tire to achieve the same level of grip. So you WANT the inside tire to turn more in most cases. This is especially true in tight corners when you are using alot of steering input.

In a high speed sweeper for say an on-road car less ackerman angle is better because the actual turning radius is much less and the tire scrub is much worse. Its a case of turn by turn.

This link has pictures that explain perfectly why Parallel or Anti-ackerman is not desirable in all situations. Once you see the animations you'll understand why you want that inside tire to turn more in most situations.
