One theory would be that you would go to the top of the list for low traction conditions to get maximum traction out of corners, but I really think this depends on the track / conditions / rest of setup.
I actually prefer the X6 + flywheel in slippier (wet grass) conditions because it smooths out the car through the corner, even though you actually loose straight line grip, it feels better overall. Maybe a more point and squirt track would still be better without the fly wheel.

how exactly does a 3gear CR2 with external idler differ from any other mid mount 4 gear in regards to rear weight transfer?
