Rudebits 201 "front Servo Weights"
 

The three small "front servo weights"

Has anyone got a pic of theirs installed ? I cant see where they are supposed to fit.

Cheers

I had the same problem when I received them.

They are just random weights you can use.

I thought they were designed to put in the nose...but they are not. :confused:

Because i didn´t know where to put it i bough the Under Servo weight. Now as i realized it could do with some more weight i wen to my local tyre shop (1:1) and asked them for some weights for the Aluminium rims: now i have about 30 weights at home in shades of 5 or 10 grams from 5 to 60 grams! Might be worth asking, i got them all for FREE :woot:

Cheers guys - just assumed that there was some spot on the car where they are supposed to fit due to the shape.

Thanks

I'm not 100% on this Richard but I think they just stick (double sided) on top of the servo. I use the under servo weight in mine (lightest one) which is a perfect fit and seems just the right amount of weight. :thumbsup:

Cheers for the info Alec :thumbsup:

I too have got the under servo weight and the under lipo one too. Just wasnt sure about those small weights.

Rich, Alec, all
Those weights were designed for when Lee Martin was running a short servo......I think they call it a short servo......the one that has room behind it and Lee needed more additional weight and we did them that shape to stack up like a deck of cards behind the servo.....
Saying all that they are now used for additional weights everywhere and yes Alec many people do put on top of the servo....
Rich, I can refund you if you bought in error......

Thanks for the reply Tony - dont worry about that ! Any plans for you to make a brass front bulkhead ? I think i speak for all the 201 drivers at Worksop today when i say we alll struggled for steering all day. Brass bulkhead seemed to do the trick with the B4 !


If you need a volunteer test pilot for it then ........................ :rolleyes: :thumbsup:

EDIT - DOH, unlike the B4, i forgot that the front bulkhead is part of the chassis on the 201, my bad :blush:

Not enough steering with the 201?

I have to use semi worn tires to take some steering away :D

adding weight to the front of any car decreases entry steering and forward bite dramatically, however you will gain a slight amount of on- power steering.

if your needing more steering remove weight in the front, dont add it :woot:

Me too, i'm going to try the "less weight" option next outing and see how that goes :thumbsup:

I dont think you guys would find you had too much steering at Worksop! Maybe you`re used to astro ! :)

I'm used to astro but this car has a lot more steering than B4's, cougars etc..
