Quick question for you guys. There is an indoor track near me that is medium-high to high traction (according to those that run there). Which version would you recommend? For some reason I am leaning towards the KC, mainly for the fact that it is quite different than anything else out there. On this track I would say that about half of the 2wd guys are running laydown. The track is Hi Performance hobbies in Hutchinson KS. Would I be much better off with a KD? Thanks in advance!

Ya if the fast guys run laydown I would lean towards the KC. If it doesn't always have high bite you could always swap to the KD rearend

The CAT XLS was my first Schumacher, totally scarred me as the flat blade slipped and gouged my hands!

Hey from my experience with the KD and KC and I have run at that track in '15 I think it was fall classic? Anyways ... KD is your best option.

Good rule of thumb guys as a lot of people have different views on high bite if your not running gold (clay compounds) run down to ghost pins and pulling a wheelie ... It's not high bite

Thanks for the responses gentlemen.. I think I will go with a KD and buy the conversion kit if I ever run on carpet or turf. What motor do you recommend for Mod?

SuttonAviation, you are correct about the Fall Classic being ran there.

Really motor size depends on your skill level .... I run a 7.5 but I usually recommend an 8.5.

I agree Billy. High bite is commonly mistaken for.

For example ocrc isn't high bite imo. But it is for many others. Ocrc on main day is like our track on the first night. Our track gains grip very fast. After the first night we're pretty much on slicks. Laydown cars wheelie. On a 110x60 track 14sec laps is high bite lol

When you see 4wd cars wheelie. There's a lot of bite

Agreed I wouldn't say high bite for OCRC until the last day after a million laps ...
