A return for rear motor cars ?
Hi all, hope everyone is staying safe and well.
At our local club we have decided to have a rear motor class when racing can resume and I have got myself a car for this purpose. I find myself more eager to run this rather than my new associated b6.2 and I started wondering why. It seems that the thought of running a rear motor class appeals to alot of members and I personally feel even though they are certainly not as fast as the new breed of laydown cars they seem to have a more nostalgic charm to racers who have been racing for say 10 years of more. It's left me wondering if we will see manufacturers ever start making rear motor cars again and maybe even developing them further if this class was ever to get popular. To maybe start this I ask if you have an opinion on this then I would love to hear it and maybe post pics of your rear motor rides if you have any. I'll post some of mine when I have painted it. Thanks all... |

would be a wonderful return
problems I see are who currently makes a rear motor modern 2wd schumacher still do a KD but instantly I'm at a loss if other manufacturers do ? I hope I'm wrong do yokomo losi or AE still have a rear motor car ? if that's the case were into running vintage stuff and spares can be hard to find plus just sold my last b4: I have a topcat nib to build but it would be no match for a xx xxx or b3 b4 great thought at club level on old school grass only though dave |

The Schumacher kd is rearward mid motor. I was thinking motor out the back. At the moment it's all vintage or re release but you can get an old b4 or cougar kr for not alot these days and it's all for fun.

We run vintage at YORCC, which by default means rear motor. Mostly Associated and Losi cars. This is my B3 and I also have a B4.2 though the B4 is deemed too new as we use 2000 as a cut off for vintage. I definitely find the B3 more fun to drive than my B6 and it works really well on the low grip gym floor. |
