Hmm, this was kinda funny.
Today I went to my club's brand spanking new astro track, for a little warmup before I leave for the worlds warmup on Thursday. The track hasn't opened yet, but when everybody celebrates our national day and leaves me with a key, I can't just sit at home or go get drunk now, can I?
So, I went with my new Mid 22, mounted with the 3.5 HRC block, TLR weights, TSD under-lipo weight, and so on. Not far off Gnarly's setup sheet.
I also brought my rear motor, with a homemade weight made from a plaque from some car race... This weighed in at only 130 g(!!!!)
The midmotor car felt okay, but couldn't quite get fast enough out of the corners, and it also felt unprecise and a bit dead in it's movements. It shall be said that I didn't change anything on the setup, but that was mostly down to the fact that I had no miracle ideas, the balance was good.
The rearmotored car? Brilliant, more reactive, jumped better, felt more precise, but stilled pulled like a midmotor through turns probably due to the weight.
So here's my question: Is it just that I'm a rearmotor kind of guy? Is it just that mid or rear doesn't matter, only enough weight and the right balance?
Might also be the track though, the grip is good, but theres lots of rubber and sand still coming out, and the cars float a bit on top.
What I think is funny is that this happens everytime I try midmotor. I just never feel at home:P
