Best indoor 2wd?

[Andywoods]

Looking for something to run over winter undecided over a db1 or tm2 or even a centro any feedback?

[Adam F]

Ive owned a DB1 and now a TM2...

DB1 was brilliant, no doubt about it, but the TM2 is just awesome on every level and the cost differential makes it hard to ignore.

It needs no upgrades, so you can drop it out of the box and run it, just following the teamC set-up tips..

Horses for courses mate. What's everybody else running at your club ? You will probably use more spare parts indoors due to breakages ! I do !!!;-). So it will be easier to get parts and setups should you need them.

And what surface are you running on ?

[gazhillAE]

B4.2 if your racing at most of the venues we are

Yokomo Bmax2 MR is a great car both indoors and outdoors

run mine mostly indoors on a mix of carpet and varnished floor. and its fantastic easier to setup and drive than my 210 ever was

Tm 2 supurb handling and traction, responds well to set up change and very economical to run (spares wise)

THE BEST advice you could ever get!. And from a 'pud lad too!

I'd have to agree with Carl Andy, you already have a very good car that will get even better if you stick with it til next season.

It's always tempting to try something else as we all love trying something new, I for one was tempted in trying a TM2 recently but let me tell you that I've gambled before and the grass was not greener on the other side.


If you are intent on changing I would try the TM2, it's cheap and very quick from what I've seen but is more suited to higher grip tracks similar to the Rb6 you already have.

We all know that the RB6 isn't the best in low grip but I've managed to find a good low grip setup recently even using the standard saddle config by adding weight etc. for Southport indoors the standard rb6 would be fine and strong which is always a bonus indoors.

Thanks guys , i was always sticking with my rb6 as i love it but was just guna have a play in winter am thinking the db1 for really high grip

[Gavin Collingwood]

Andy you don't half faff! You've found the best car you've had in ages.... Stick with it. Don't get new car fever like mr elworthy...

[Chris Elworthy]

The db1 looks nice but it's a bit pricey, why not go for a TM2 like Ben? I think that car is a steal for 220 quid and If it didnt mean going out buying shortys to run it alongside my RB6 I may have coughed up.

One thing though, when you refer to high grip I assume you mean Southport indoor? In my opinion it's not as high grip as people think, it's certainly far from low grip but the long pile astro does give the cars a looser feel.

Its the shorty issue i dont fancy buying 2 sets of shortys that wont fit in my rb6

Andy have a look at the b max2 on the for sale page £120 posted the car isn't as aggressive as the rb6 good car just for winter racing

[bigt]

I Only run shorties in rb6 even Rogers converted

[Chris Elworthy]

Well they will, a lot of people are going to shortys with they're 6's now as it allows more adjustable weight Balence, Nick Caro for example has been running them and likes it but it would mean setting the car up again for me to make the switch.

If you go for a DB1 then you will need a rb5 donor won't you? That you appear to have just sold?!


Chris

[mihael]

you talk about DB1

thank you

[Andywoods]

The db1 is a kyosho rb5 with rudebits conversion to make it mid motor , very nice piece of kit
