Pretty sure @Formidilosus will have some thoughts on this construction ... but also have a sneaking suspicion that his closet-love for old-school Luddite tech and fuddy aesthetics might win out over his practical assessment ...

You don’t know me…..








That sole needs to be black.

I agree. On both counts.

But I'm not here to discuss aesthetics - - someone asked about the pros and cons of the construction of this design ... and I tagged you in as I was guessing you would have some thoughts about that.

My personal guess is that the exposed stitching *might* be a site for increased water ingress - but I'd personally be up for risk managing that for the benefit of not having the glued-on plastic of the Tracker ESCs. Even to the point where I might be able to ignore the silly white soles ... maybe.
