Talk:RR3 Wiki:Tips and FAQ for The Gauntlet (Season 7)/@comment-24560731-20160804062436

Contrary to what is stated in "methods to slow bots down", I feel that losing (by a big margin) and ending run do slow the bots down. I got to a point where I cannot get pass the first boss with all R$ upgrades, so I tried losing the very first challenge repeatly. After doing that 10 times or so (with the help of ad's), the bots get noticably slower (I can now reach 1st position in the first few turns instead of half way through the track), and I was able to (bearly) beat the second boss. Granted the type of challenges can greatly affect the difficult of the chanllenge, I do believe losing and ending run have an impact on the general bots difficulty. If you are in a similar situation as I was in, definitely give this a try before spending gold for upgrade.
