Theory is one thing - and very interesting - but it's what works that really matters 
The OSC / SRC Peugeot 205 T16 has been the slot rally car to race since it came out eight years ago. An SRC Porsche 914/6 with independent suspension won our WHO Rally-Sprint, despite its narrow rear track. In fact, four of the top five had SRC or Ninco independent suspension - and it wasn't all about having an advantage on the 'rough stuff' by any means. SRC Porsche 914s dominated the 'Classic' class at the Wye Valley Winter Stages, an OSC / SRC 205 T16 came second in the 80s class and a standard Ninco C4 came third in the Modern class.
You might expect racers competing on a traditional flat club track (wood, Ninco etc) are going to remove suspension from a Ninco or SRC rally car and glue the axle bearings into the chassis... but I do remember reading a discussion on another forum when some did and some didn't. And some of the faster guys absolutely didn't.
