Default Bmax2M slippery astro set ups??

Are you guys adding weight to the front of the Bmax2 in mid config when the astro is damp & slippery?

I haven't been running the brass or aluminium front bulkhead during the summer as i have had plenty of steering but with the winter coming, it going to be damp & slippery.

Ballistic greens are the favourite in the damp & Dboots Multibytes(b) in the wet.

I'm still running the plastic chassis!

Does the Avid slipper help when its slippery?

Out of interest, what set ups do you have for damp slippery astro?

Thanks

Plastic chassis all the way for low traction. Brass front bulkhead is far too heavy for the front of the mid car, best keep that for rear motor. I ran the kit front end with 10g added near the servo saver on chassis, and 15g in the nose. I've now got the ali front bulkhead and 11g insert weight, plus the ali front upper ball link mount, and removed the 15g stickons in the nose. The balance is perfect for me with stagger ribs up front. I'd remove the 11g brass insert if I needed to run cut staggers. The balance of this is perfect for low traction indoor tracks and Batley outdoor in the damp, so with yellows of bb greens on the rear. Kit pistons, 35 and 30 AE oils. AE Red BB front springs, kit yok blue rears, or a softer AE bigbore rear if its smooth.
