ok, I have raced indoor high bite and outdoor low and variable traction. Variable because the track could dry out half way into the heat because of the sun or wind. If I was going to be racing on a bunch of vastly different traction levels, I would get the RM. People can talk until they are blue in the face, but RM is easier to drive. I see brand new drivers try MM and they are all over the place. I have handed a few my RM car and they are like wow, this is so much easier to drive. I tried my MM car outdoors on a loose broken up mixed surface that was watered and it sucked soooooooo bad.

Example. We had a guy come from another state. he swore by MM working everywhere. After a couple weeks running outdoors, he told me it was fine. you just need the right tires....2 weeks later he is driving RM, lol.

in short.... RM is better overall.

Talking diffs, I clean mine out and reassembly either every week or every other. I race a clean indoor track twice a week, with maybe a practice day in there. About 15-20 packs a week. Diffs need cleaned out quite often to remain smooth. I'll flip the rings around when one side grooves up and is not smooth and will replace as needed. Rings are cheap. A smooth diff is very important and mine is always that, even when tight.

Smooth shocks and diffs are your friend.

Looking at the drawing for the 1268, it looks pretty beefy. Maybe the high torque servos are a little on the large size for this car, but not sure. The high speeds seem a little sleeker. I'm guessing that's what most folks run.

I run the stock plastic horn and don't see a need for aluminum. A suspension arm will rip off the car before steering components fail.

I'll probably be grabbing a new servo this week or next. Looking at the low pro Orion Vortex or a Futaba low pro.

I would go ko rsx one10 (the original w product number ending in "****04") or either of the new bsx2 low pro's

Did you remove the spacer under the ballstud on the servo horn?

What length sensor wire does everyone use? Im running an orion R10 and Id like to run the wire under the battery and under the motor. The wire I have now is a touch too long ad I have a lot of slack at the motor side of it.

+1 the one10 is such an amazing servo!

I think the Savox 1268 or Hitec 7955 is a little overkill on a 2wd buggy. I run the Savox 1257 in mine, it's tight but fits just fine, works excellent too.

I agree they are not as fast as I think you want and way overkill on the torque, but I have a few from 8th scales and was trying to get away with it while testing my hand at 10th

Oh really? Beings the mid works real well outdoors (even on non sugared) and it speaks for itself indoors, you are totally leading people astray with what you just said. That is a total "your opinion only" comment for sure, not the general consensus of everyone.

I have raced mid and rear motor. I like rear motor better. I think people can make either one work just depends on your driving style. I really like the mid setup it just don't work for how I drive.

Both are great
