West Bridgeford Model Car Club (WBMCC) - ME-OR Regional 2wd Round Five Team Associated B5

Saturday 21st July 2024
The rain came down hard during round 4. With nothing to loose I decided to bring out the rear motored B5 to see what happened.
Quote from the rostrum "Gareth might of pulled out a blinder here"
The way I saw it I was ever going to win or come last. I didn't do too badly at all. I think I was 3rd in the end so happy with that. The car hasn't got a setup on it so some work needed going foward. Looking back I should of used it in the final too as I struggled with the newer mid motored B7 car.

Looks like it performed well
Seemed to have good control of the oversteer compared to the other cars
What do you think the main differences are between it and a modern mid motor buggy?
I’m interested as I have a race coming up here in Australia which is on dirt and notoriously loose in the morning (wet) but grips up during the day and my daughter is going to try and race 2wd. Trying to find something that is the easiest to drive with those conditions.

The first think you notice is the front end. Back to back against the B6/7 it’s like night and day. You get used to it though. I think I need a bit more turn in and a bit less turn out. Just to lock that rear end in out of the corners
