Sounds very nice Martin
Do you have any pictures of the FWD Buggy that you could share?
Speaking of pictures... The buggy has made it's international introduction at the EOS in Langenfeld
Unfortunately it wasn't for racing purposes... It was my first time to drive on carpet, the track was quite unforgiving (the jumps demanded you to get into their 'flow' - which I found very difficult) and I run the hardest spring setup I have - which is a decent setup for dirt and clay - so I couldn't really set up the car for the track.
That didn't stop me from running the car though... A bit on (wet) astroturf outside (which went quite well with the setup+Schumacher Full spikes up front), and a brief run on saturday on carpet (after all the heats, and running Schumacher Mini pins up front).
The result? Huge forward traction without wheelies! (Try that on full power you RWDs!)
I think when driven well an RWD can still beat it's forward traction, but the difference should not be nearly as pronounced - I was surprised and very impressed by that!
However, it wasn't all fun. I couldn't properly brake before corners: The car braked strong enough to make stoppies, and even if you didn't do that, on turn-in the rear end would just break out. I did manage to keep the front end at the front a few times - this resulted in a stable car (as long as I didn't decelerate) with seemingly less understeer than on dirt.
I think to get it really working on carpet it needs a stiffer front end for these high-bite conditions, increase rear droop and decrease front droop - and if that doesn't work... weight on the rear
I'd do a lot to prevent that though, the forward traction was unreal and I want to keep it that way!
