I agree and I'm sure why there is so much that's not used. I will say that they work extremely well. Here's a videos that shows how I'm able to make up time under braking even against some race cars:


Because the power delivery is so hard coming out of corners is my weakness but high speed and braking is where I'm most comfortable.
