Has anyone run MR and RS back to back on the same clay base track? What characteristics did you notice between the two?

We are debating building up one buggy RS style and the other MR but that would mean sacrificing one brand new body on the configuration that doesn't end up working.

If your clay track includes tight turns, you'll be able to carry more speed through them with mid motor. If it is a large clay track with low traction, go for rear motor. Choosing between both configurations also depends on your style of driving.
As the outdoor season in our region will only begin in late April, I haven't had a chance to test mid motor on clay, but for my driving style it should work.

Plan to do just that but I would like the best starting point and go from there so I can save setup time and concentrate on driving. I want to make sure the car is not totally undrivable straight out of the box. We have two kits now and we're going to test back to back different things. We are excited!
Just try it as kit first. You need to understand how the car works and why its setup as is before you can start improving it to your style and track.

Kit springs are fine

I never break and never heard that this chassis can break...perhaps the term of "nose" is not right...the "front" of the chassis got little things for improvement.

As you say, just to stiffen it...

It's not a chassis. It's some form of bronze weight i think, like under-servo weight.
