NOOB qestion MM3 210

[zleader]

I recently picked up a dex210 new to me setup in MM3. Coming from a 22 I am dropping my electronics straight in as I have a club race tomorrow an not to much time to go over the buggy... Kinda just going to pray... Anyways... Do I have to reverse my motor direction via the esc (viper vxt10)?

I am setting this up last minute larry....

No you dont

mm3 means that you only use 3 gears so your motor turns backwards, as your motor creates the anker effect, your car will tend to lean backwards so more pressure on the rear wheels.
mm4 does the opposite, so you have more front grip.
hope it helps

isn't it the other way round? MM4 give more rear grip than MM3...

Thanks for the help. Picked up the buggy late in the afternoon and stayed up pretty late to get it done... Thanks for the help...

nope mm4 = more front grip & mm3 = more rear grip
f=forward b=backward

starting from the wheels:
mm3: f-b-f(also includes spur)-b(this is the motor)
mm4:f-b-f-b(spur also)-f(motor)
if you don't understand this check the website real good, because i just checked it.

Tobys is correct mm4 means you have more rear grip and mm3 means you have more front grip i have tested mm3 on polished wood lots of steering but no rear grip

[av4625]

so basically if you are racing on astro or carpet (high grip surface) you want mm4 and if your racing on polished floor or dirt you want rm3 simple
tomvanelsen you are wrong my friend

[rcjunky]

from more rear grip to more front it goes like this

rm4
rm3
mm4
mm3

super high grip you want mm3, super low grip you want rm4, if you have lots of rear grip, move down the list.

No im not wrong, in mm4 the motor turns towards the front of the car, so more front grip.
I know im right cuz on astro you know it when youve got too little steering or rear grip, and if i corner to quick, ill spin
