Rear motor setup?

[gainsy]

Anyone used the 210 in rear motor format yet?
The reason i ask is i was running mid4 at stotfold on sunday, normally this is great round there, but as the temp dropped during the day the track became very damp & was like driving on ice, had schumacher greens all round & was still sliding all over the place
So i have decided to try the RM3 setup for the winter series next sunday as i have been told this will provide more grip & conditions look like they will be similar
Have had a look on the durango site setups but can't find 1 for RM3 or any infact for rear motor
Any advice much appreciated

Probably see you there mate.

Is it possible to change it I between rounds?

[gainsy]

Possibly, took about 40 minutes to change but i was constantly refering to the manual to make sure i got it right, could get it down to about 25 i suppose so yeah it could be done
Going to start with rm3 as it's a early start & the track will deffo be damp, might switch it back if we get a hot day but i can't see that happening
I think once all the parts are available i will get a spare gearbox to make the switch times much faster
You got your 210 yet?

You sure the schumacher greens didnt have something to do with that? I know one guy tried it yesterday at Broxtowe and it was the wrong way to go in the wet, BB greens works a lot better when its wet or damp

The guys who were on the bb's were just as bad really, maybe a little better but not by much, trouble is control tyre for the series is schumacher so we are stuck with them

I feel for you guys having to run Schuy greens in the wet. I think most at my club would rather strap a banana skin to their wheels. Definitely Ballistic or Db MultiBytes ‘B’ compounds on the rear when wet. Although quite a few use Schuy greens on the front for 2WD.

For RM3 set up, you can down load the set up from Billy fisher on the TD website, I believe under USA track section, that should give you a good basic to start from. General rule of thumb: if you are changing from MM to RM, you will need a softer front spring and a stiffer rear spring compare with what you are using in order to achieve the same balance since on RM set up, the motor weight are bias towards the rear. Hope that help.

We did speak to and offer Stotfold club a Ballistic Buggy deal for their winter series but sadly the commitiee chose to stick with Schumachers for this years winter series, never mind, always next year I guess........
