I haven't tried anything but 5k yet. I have 2 diffs. I'm going to upgrade the gears to steel and I have the lighter pins also. I want to try 1-2k for my local track.

This has the pot metal gears. The hardened steal ones are ~$60 more.

I have a question, as stupid as its going to sound, regarding the wide RF2 rear arm suspension hangers.

Are both the front and rear mounts in a wide position, or is it just the front mount? Im looking to purchase the aluminum hangers with the replaceable pills. But not sure which pills to start with for a medium to high bite track.

Any insight would be of much help!

Has anyone here come from a b4.2?

Anyone care to compare ea in rear motor form?

I've always been an AE guy. Losi just doesn't work for me. The RB6 seems to offer it all. I'm just struggling with the price point.

Yes you need to pair front and rear, but the adjustable set eliminates that, get both pieces and use the chart to choose what width and toe you want.

I really liked the car in RM, had great steering and stability.

My driving style is more of a flowing type rather than a point and shoot. So with that said I started rear motor, went mid and then back to rear. Then it was mid and I have stayed with it since. I don't know if I will ever go back to rear motor because the car in mid motor just gives me that feel that I was looking for.

If you do go mid motor try Andy's setup to start with and then adjust to your driving style.

I would say for low bite bumpy conditions, stay rear motor. If those guys are doing well in mid motor, think how good they'd be in rear.

Honestly it comes down to how you drive. Some guys simply cant do MM based on how they drive.

If you:

Slide your car into and through a turn
Wait to the last moment to slam on the brakes
Have a heavy finger
Are not particularly smooth

Then MM may not fit you. It really is more of a finesse style that is required. Now you can get a little gritty with them, but not in the same way you can with a RM car. There is no weight back there to help you go really hard at times. That's what gets a lot of drivers to switch back.
