Default Difference TRF 201 XM vs XMW

Hello, did any ody tested both vversions ? As the motor is more central positioned I assume the XM version is better suitable for high grip tracks?
Thx for inputs?

Yes.

I don't have an XMW, but have an XR/XM. on a dusty track the XM was not good, but in XR guise it was brilliant.

I'm going to run the XM soon at a carpet venue in Sydney. Will be my first time on high grip surface!

XMW is on my to get list, but is elusive!

Ive had both.
The XMW out of box is a far better kit. The only issue with handling is with which tires i need to run on the day. The XM i was forever struggling with rear end washing out or to much front end push.
I run on a low - Med grip track

XMW is the better kit for all track conditions due to the ball diff & gear diff.

Now that I have run my XM on carpet, I have to say that is where it is meant to be. On a high grip surface the XM works very well. I was at no disadvantage to other kits on the night and found myself in the A Main (17.5 blinky) Q7 first time on carpet. Had some good results in the finals too. Highest was a second.

Going again tomorrow night.
