Ive owned a DB1 and now a TM2...

DB1 was brilliant, no doubt about it, but the TM2 is just awesome on every level and the cost differential makes it hard to ignore.

It needs no upgrades, so you can drop it out of the box and run it, just following the teamC set-up tips..

Horses for courses mate. What's everybody else running at your club ? You will probably use more spare parts indoors due to breakages ! I do !!!;-). So it will be easier to get parts and setups should you need them.

Yokomo Bmax2 MR is a great car both indoors and outdoors

run mine mostly indoors on a mix of carpet and varnished floor. and its fantastic easier to setup and drive than my 210 ever was

I'd have to agree with Carl Andy, you already have a very good car that will get even better if you stick with it til next season.

It's always tempting to try something else as we all love trying something new, I for one was tempted in trying a TM2 recently but let me tell you that I've gambled before and the grass was not greener on the other side.


If you are intent on changing I would try the TM2, it's cheap and very quick from what I've seen but is more suited to higher grip tracks similar to the Rb6 you already have.

We all know that the RB6 isn't the best in low grip but I've managed to find a good low grip setup recently even using the standard saddle config by adding weight etc. for Southport indoors the standard rb6 would be fine and strong which is always a bonus indoors.

The db1 looks nice but it's a bit pricey, why not go for a TM2 like Ben? I think that car is a steal for 220 quid and If it didnt mean going out buying shortys to run it alongside my RB6 I may have coughed up.

One thing though, when you refer to high grip I assume you mean Southport indoor? In my opinion it's not as high grip as people think, it's certainly far from low grip but the long pile astro does give the cars a looser feel.
