Hi mate,
The Rheinard motor is a very good motor, but the super stiff springs are best suited with a 7x1 motor which Rheinard used to win the worlds with, which then prompted the release of the range using the same component set.

When I ran a Rheinard (10x1) I fitted the medium spring and it ran like a dream, very good. But with the stiff spring the drag-brake was too extreme for off-road, and the comm wear was immense.

Then I was lucky for Oscar to rebuild it for me during the Euros in France, and he refitted it with medium/hard springs, which I feared to be too much again, but on the track the car was like a rocket and the drag brake although was more than id normal desire, I was able to control it fine.

I always used sprint edge brushes too.

Chris
