Hi guys. I ran my KF2 indoors for the first time on what is medium grip carpet. I started with the mid motor setup, 15000cst gear diff, shocks on the rear and 35g between the motor mount and diff housing. 7.5T motor, slipper as stock and probably not slipping enough. It felt a bit understeery but ok. Someone suggested that I move the shocks to the front of the rear wishbones, which made it more agile. The problem is I lost forward traction after a few runs on Minipin 1's, which made life a bit difficult. Other guys running 22-3, B6, YZ2 etc were managing a whole day on a set of rears, with some to spare and appeared to have loads of forward drive.
I have noticed that the static weight distribution with mid motor is pretty much the same as the other layouts, I was hoping the motor effect would help in that regard. I am a bit disheartened tbh, I am simply not up for using a set and a half every meeting when other cars are much kinder and just as quick if not more so. I am not sure where to go with the car layout wise now! Any advice please?
