OCM was tested for weight comparison with another reputable, OCM and X brand has everything installed except for servo's ,engine and pipe.
X brand is fully titanium screwed too........the result is OCM,out of the box,is still lighter than X
We put to test both buggies through a simple chassis twisting as showed by Ian Haley, OCM won hands down. This is the result of the material used and the design of DT-19. It's servo tray extend right to the rear of the receiver box as opposed to conventional design that stops before the receiver box.
Material are sourced from Bayern Germany, a reputable chemical R&D company.

One distinctive difference that i have noticed from my ex MBX5 Pro is that OCM can land better and turns like no tomorrow.
It can land after a high jump without bottoming out unlike my ex mugen ...."Phaak! " chassis on the ground everytime. We tested both buggies by dropping both of them onto the floor to see how high before the chassis hits the floor and guess who won?
As for steering,I had to use the inner steering mount point on the knuckle to soften the agressive steering, the outer mount point is good for technical tracks which requires sensitive steering.
Toe setup on the OCM are relatively simple by means of precise toe cups inserted onto the brace,this eliminates the need of expensive setup station .All it needs is a simple camber gauge and you are set with the OCM.
The shock shaft are hardened items, tough buggers. We have also adviced the manufacturer of several items which we think should be improvised or revised.
We had a first hand technical tips from all 3 OCM drivers about buggy setting and racing it. I gained one (amongst many others) valuable lesson at tuning shock absorber (finally ) More to learn from these drivers
I am finally getting what I wanted to learn about buggy
BTW, this is MY opnion of comparison between the buggies that I have driven so dont go flaming me about it yeah?!
Anyway, we will let OCM speak for itself on the tracks and not in the forum

and I assume your adrenaline got pumped up by it too, hehe No other brands that I have tried to get in touch with to learn their buggy has ever been sucessfull. I tried mugen (japan /US) their standard reply is " Get in touch with your local dealer" How daft? 
If I could get what I needed locally I wouldnt go that far would I? I almost gave up buggying for the lack of knowledge and no one to turn to for advice UNTIL I bumped into the right group of people
People who actually participate in races and are not stuck up with sharing information and advice Now I buggy the smart way instead of the hard way. Jumping all day long isnt going to get you anywhere as I found out the hard way.

Jumping all day long isnt going to get you anywhere as I found out the hard way. learnings are most important in improving oneself, not just playing the hard way Well, for me, I dont rely only on infos from others but also trying out new stuffs myself which are not available locally and learn from them (trial & error laaaa.......slow learnings but fun).Well, have fun with your new buggy soul mate, hehe (don't forget to share some new learnings here, man) and here's wishing you Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year ahead with OCM

I asked u give me a simple test run report, u gave us the whole kahuna technical insider knowledge & tips form ocm pro drivers only. I couldn't ask for more. it deserved to be in the blog. dont blame me for your smart write-up review style. it will be put up in the "blockquote" of the OCM title by our local time this 10pm if not early. u got time to deny, reject, oppose such act from my side to put it up there!
