anyone trying rear motor 22

[jampat2004]

have changed my 22 to rear motor anyone else trying this outdoors and having any success? tried mid motor but could nt find a decent set up was always hard to push and rear end breaking away,so was hoping other people have maybe tried rear motor and are prefering over mid and getting results.

The car in rear motor is easier to work on and feels more stable, to me anyway.

I haven't tried it, yet. What's it like over bumps?

Been running rear motor for a few weeks now. Car really 'digs in' on my local grass circuit www.shrccc.com. Really depends on what YOU like.

mines rear suits my driving.rear feels good on tight turns which most clubs have.also running outside can be damp due to uk weather conditions which suits rear motor cars better

Iv considered trying rear motor. But wud this not cause the rear to slide out ? Iv only just started so im not to sure. But most 2wd are rear motored and they seem fine.

I've done a lot with both mid and rear, on grass and astro.

They drive differently as you'd expect, rear motor has more understeer, turns in slower, picks up more traction on exit but also pushes more. Mid turns faster, much keener into a corner and likes to be driven agressively. On the stopwatch mid is faster.

The mid definitely needs more set up work and is more sensitive but I have no problems with traction with the mid once the set-up is right.

Overall the mid suits me much better, I like a pointy car and tend to be smooth and precise with the steering. Rear motor, like the B4, always feels a bit laboured and you have to wait for it to do it's thing and doesn't like to be hurried.

Overall the 22 can do everything you want, from high grip astro, meduim grass with mid in different weight guises to wet grass and dirt with a rear motor.
