rb5 lead weight
 

wots the average use of lead weight iv been told alot using lipo

My car has solder melted into the rear triangles, 1 on the left side at the rearmost and 2 on the right side rearmost and with a 5000 lipo and a brass bulkhead weighs in at 1525 and has 65/35 weight split. (fill the triangles to the top, but not so high that it sits proud).



HTH Simon.

i have 100 gram under the lipo 20 gram on top of the servo and 30 gram brass bulkhead on my car

paul

loads
 

that loads of weight i aint used none yet so u recomend at least 50 grams under lipo

Made for the B4 but fits other 2wd cars - 50g
All the best

it's all personal preferance some people use lead/brass wieghts some people don't like the way the car handles with lots of wieght in just try it with some wieght if you don't like it take it out

weight
 

so i shud get weight under front end
where do i getv brass bulkhead

The only weight i run in my car is the Ghea 35g brass bulkhead...

I find the car suits me this way.

BUT... if you have big jumps like we did at the Talywain National i tried 60g of lead under the lipo (approx half the size of where the battery sits..) in my final.. adjusted my ride height and found the car flew much better.. rather than having to think about the approach and my speed i felt i could just " drive " the jump..:thumbsup: im going to experiment with more on " jumpy " tracks!

It didnt really seem to upset the car anywhere else on the track.. the only thing was it maybe didnt change direction quite as quick..

Cheers
