KC versus Laydown
Hi All,
Just bought a cheap KC, my first 2wd for a couple of years. Took it out last night and loved it! Question is how much better is the Laydown on high grip Astro? I’ve seen quite a few Laydowns come up for sale recently having had little or no use....why? Interested to hear people views. Thanks for reading. |

The main difference's are, the laydown has more composure at the limit, also it finds traction better
You can also say the design means its easier to work on |

For them coming up for sale with little use, from my experience is getting them setup.
I came from a Yokomo YZ2 CAl2 to a Laydown and the LD was not as quick and I could not get a setup to work, I was about to give up, when a fellow racing with a LD said let me set that up for you, Wow then I noticed a difference, its fast, corners on Astro like it would be on rails really happy with it now. Still got the Yokomo, but that is my wet car now |

Im not sure where people get the 'hard to drive' comment, i loved the KC, i had to do some work on set up but it was a great car, with the laydown i knew it would have more traction due to the weight bias, at the same time it would have less mid/low speed steering compared to the old car. I added the servo weight and shortened the front wheel base and its on rails. I have a wet car too with further set up changes so it works in the low grip too. Team schumacher proved its good car at Boughton with 4 cars in the A.
Maybe people dont want to work on their set up? |

I'm not sure why, by my ld seems easier and faster than my kc was, and lacks no steering anywhere, so much so I have just built a second to have a carpet and low grip car.
Many have found a ball diff is the best option on many tracks outdoors
