Really! We still have plenty available :thumbsup:

Ditch the fan. Mount the capacitor on the chassis if you have the shorty pack. I'm sure you can mount the speedo where it should be then.
I run SP and mounted the capacitor on the chassis next to my short lipo. You can't even see it in my pic.

:thumbsup:Looking good Mr Perez!!!

Unfortunatly ive got saddle packs which give no room to mount the speedo/cap on the base, its ment to mount on the back angled plate but kept falling off in testing so i made the level plate. Even tried mounting the speedo at the front but it hangs over the divider and digs into the sides of the lipos. Im hoping the weight pushed to the rear will also help with grip but if worst comes to the worst ill buy a short pack for it and re build later.

hey i have the same esc and was just wondering what the size is the plate you made and of what material thanks in advance:thumbsup:

Its a sort of T shape, base is a little bigger then ESC to fit on capacitors too and bolts to the angled part of the bulkhead. Made out of a spare scrap of titanium 3mm plate i had laid around

Painter finally finished my body! I'll post pics of the car when I get the body back.

No pics just yet but I have a link to a video on Youtube of my 22. This was shot on my first night out with the car on our indoor carpet track. I ran the car box stock as I was battling with a loose slipper and crunchy diff all night.

I still managed to lay down some fast laps and took the win despite some large brain cramps in the middle of the race. Check it out and let me know what you think.

I ran my car again last night and with proper slipper and diff settings the car was on rails. Started the night turning 12.8 second laps. By first qualifier down to 12.6 average and 12.4 fast lap. Second qualifier was down to 12.2 fast lap and then in the main I was turning low 12 second laps on average and busted a hero lap at 11.89!! Not sure how I did it but the car was awesome. I hope to have that video up soon.

I will be posting my setup on my blog.

for mounting the electronics, has anyone made a small plate of something, put it on top of your battery, strap it in, then mount your esc on it, so its on a plate on top of the battery, but if you undo the strap, you can move the esc and plate and strap it back in?

just been through the whole thread.

cannot agree on people who put the speedy next to the servo in mid mount.....

you want as much weight over the rear wheels as you can get. Put it where losi designed it....

Here's mine during back garden testing:

Why?? :confused:

You want to build it, then work how the weight split front to rear, should be 61-65% on the rear. I tend to work around 63% as a basic then fine tune from there. Little things can affect it, 30g on the servo will move mine from 63.4% to 61.5%. No point just slapping weight on the car if you upset the balance.

You want weight as low down as you can get it to start, if there's room up front then why not. I think the speedo mount at the back was a optional location for it anyway.

As for weight at the back, too much weight at the back will only make the car understeer on power, less steering into corner. I'm taking it off mine, car has so much rear end grp you don't need it.

This might sound like a daft question but how are you calculating the weight split???

... two sets of scales front and back... working out the rear weight as a percentage of the overall weight and vice versa? or is there a more accurate way??

Ta, Jon!

I have another video to share of our 2wd A-main from Thursday night from Ontario, Canada.

The car keeps getting better after having the chance to change a few things like going to 22.5 wt oil front and rear, running 25 degree kickup and 5 degree blocks, and lengthening the front camber link to 1-A.

Car felt very good but had a bit of a high speed push and rear end would kick up on some of the jumps. I would appreciate feedback from anyone on how the car looks on track and any changes you would recommend. I have some tuning springs for front and rear but nothing softer then the kit yellow just yet which is what I think is needed to stop the rear from kicking up like that.

Thanks...here is the link.

eBay sells cheap small scales for about £5 each. I picked up 4 of them which makes life easy. You can also do it with one scale by being a little creative.

I have not driven my mid car yet, however from owning an x6 in the past, 65% on the rear seems ideal. My Rear mount is currently at 65%, and my B4's have been on 67% which feel good.

I still think 65% is a good number to aim for, you wont get that with a speedy up front, just my opinion, I don't know what team drivers are doing though.

It's a bit hard to see in the video, but I think you're running mid-motor? I was getting a bit of high speed push indoors, you maybe want to try coming down on the kick up and leaving the 5 degree blocks in, or shortening the front link again to make it a bit more responsive. I found the push went away when there was more grip, I've not tried back to back, but I've not experienced the push since moving to the HRC rear toe block either.

I've also found the rear of mine popping up a bit, I tried a white spring, it maybe helped a little as did a bit more rear weight. I'm still finding it a general characteristic of the car so far though, one thing that helps is keep the throttle on! I had a style of coasting onto bumps/jumps with my B4 which was fine, but, perhaps it's the motor rotation, coming off the power can cause the rear to lift, keep on the throttle and it stays a lot flatter, even landing with some throttle was helping keep the rear down.

Finally got some pics of it! A little rear motor action from across the pond.

I just do it with one scale. Make sure you can get a completely level surface to the scales, measure front to back, overall and each corner. All results should equal the overall weight.

So for example.

1100 rear weight / 1700 total weight * 100 = 64.7%

D20MCK, where did you get that jack?

Matt

It's not mine, I got a wee loan of it from my cousin just to get some pics. He's a mechanic and he got it from the Snap-on guy that comes around in his van.

i know that car!!! / bodyshell it used to belong to a guy that i know called Mark Redmond!!!

The bodyshell did belong to Mark the car is mine. Who painted it by the way? Was it custom blitz?

some very nice paint jobs.

not sure but can try and find out
