Is a rear motor car better in wet conditions than a mid motor??

Do some people have a wet car and a dry car like the TC lads??

Or is the rear motor car dead in the Uk (apart from RHR clay track)??

I run a TLR 22 rear motor all the time wet or dry, tried it mid but I don't like the way it drives. Rear motor is the way to go in the wet if you ask me.

It make sense as more weight on the rear end.

That said my 210 goes well in the wet as a mid motor but with added weight when wet.

Do the TLR lads use the big rear weight only when it's wet on the 22??

As a driver of a 22 I always use that brass rear weight, it keeps the rear and a bit more stable and improves the jumping characteristics, Without mine tends to put the nose down in the air and did not respond well to tilting via throttle.
But i use the Proline Bulldog shell and have the ESC in front directly behind the servo.
