You don't/shouldn't use drag brake to keep nose down off jumps... This can be corrected with better throttle control and manual braking technique.

Hmm will try it that way. I like 5 % drag brakes though....

I had similar behaviour on my mid motor cougar as well, only thing that cured was drag brakes....

hard to see in video just before the car lands i tap the brakes to land flat and even . all but for the far end of the track after i go up over the hill jump . i like the rear tires to make contact first at that spot .

This car is the best I've ever had. Works great right out of the box in stock form.

Got about 20 packs through the car, nothing has ever been broken on it, not even a ball popped. Only a slightly bend front hinge pin holder with I will be replacing with that thicker one.

Considering that cybermonday is today, are there any parts worth considering that aren't purely bling? Maybe spare parts?

Trying to take advantage of some discounts today.

It raises the roll center in the car's rear, reducing rear traction throughout the corner. (more rotation).

do you guys not remember his car in rear... it was way worse off. not saying the setup was perfect but it looks way better in mid.

i don't think rear motor is the "ANSWER". its a band-aid just like it was when it originally came out all those years ago..

and i state that because XFactory cars, for example, race on every type of surface (dusty/loamy/and loose) and generate just as much grip. the pendulum effect is the only thing that helps the RM cars in low grip situation.. however, as seen in the vid at the beggining, he's carrying so much speed into the corner, it evens out when he loses a little on exit because the RM cars can't go into the corner as fast but can hammer it out. that is why he pulls away so soon.

the benefits of MM can really be seen on flowing tracks

not saying one is better than another but just like saying this car is faster here or there is all subjective. don't think RM does everything better it just allows more room for error on the traction necessary in your setup.

So I have seen that some guys are running the gold springs in rear. Do yall think they are a good thing to have or not really necessary. Does anyone have the part # for them ? I have searched and there are so many different one I dont want to get the wrong ones. I couldnt even find them on amain.

Not necessary, but a good tool to have in your bag. I am back to running pinks/reds and the car is amazing. On a really loose track, gold could help rear generate a little rear traction.

Rear Aluminum hubs would be a good idea.

Too many other variables. Track was blown out... tires weren't as broken in... who knows. It wasn't because he moved from RM to MM though. The track appears to be no more than a medium bite type track where a RM balance will give a noticeable advantage.

^ this.

Add some regular old dirt (strained of course), and stop changing the layout every week. The traction will come up.

The track is very tight . My car works very well . Other RB6s have come to the track running tebo setups and can't keep up with me . Their cars are lazy as most of the other RB6 cars I have seen race . If you really watch close any other YouTube video of a RB6 racing in the entry and mid turn they all take a slight pause . My car carries a lot of speed where they don't and jumps awesome and is very stable in the rough sections .
