Curious: is anybody still using one 2wd car at high level?
As title, given the current trend for high grip and low grip specific car's it's getting almost necessary to have 2-3 2wd cars to compete at national/regional level to do well.
Are any of you doing the national series and still running one car? I race the North West regional series which is a very competetive series given the quality of the drivers in the region so it's becoming increasingly important to have multiple cars to even compete locally. I'm personally a Team C driver having returned to the team following a year away and picked up a TM2v2. A couple of seasons ago when I ran this car despite being a high grip car I could still hold my own at nationals when things got slippy with a few small changes..I assumed things would be similar a year on but the low grip cars have become far more refined in such a short space of time. Please share your opinions, cars you have found to be surprisingly good all rounders etc ... I'm sure I'm not the first person to notice a huge shift. Chris

I think you missed the gist of the question.
I guess it depends on the tracks and the weather, and how competent you are at car setup for the conditions.

I personally just run 1 car for all track types and conditions.
I dont see the need to be having a wet car, just change tyres do the normal setup tweeks and drive your best. I think its getting abit silly people having various cars setup for 1 event. I think they may well soon introduce chassis marking at events to ensure 1 chassis is used throughout the event.

I only have one car.
4 gearboxes though that all fit on the carbon or alloy chassis. 1 car with multiple choices

The Kyosho RZ6 seems to be proving to be one car for all occasions. So far in two regionals (wet A1 and dry but sandy Broxtowe) Iain Mellish has won both rounds. He also placed it in the A final at a very wet Kidderminster national. This from a car that was only supposed to work on high grip

Lol, there's always one.
Hmmm, I've asked myself this but I'm only a simple club driver. Although that doesn't tend to stop other simple club drivers from joining the trend. Personally, I'd like to stick with one car and try and change setup and my driving to suit. (talent permitting)

One car is all thats needed, no rule says you cant have another set of shocks that youve got the perfect set up for rain.

I have 1 Xray xb4, with wet shocks and wet diff setup. Then all I have to do for wet is change the tyres, toe and sometimes various steering tweaks.
Having 2 4wd cars is a bit silly. 2wd on the other hand is different..

So what about the yz2 and the xb2. They have a car for both but what would be chosen as an all rounder

For me, the normal yz2 (original)

i run the CE version of the xray xb2. And at the last event the guys with the Dirt version for looser conditions were no faster.
It rained and very loose track and still found the car to have half decent grip

Quite simple, I don't run any 2wd in the wet as it's no fun. I run the Xray Xb2 Carpet Edition.
