Weight in a xx4
 

How much extra weight do people put in their xx4's? I have none at present and it is a little underweight (1500ish). Also where do you put it?

Cheers

Dave

From memory, I've got about 30g on each side of the rear tunnel on the inside of the batteries.
You can also fit 10-15g inside the rear shock tower and some in and around the front steering bellcranks and inside the front tunnel under the layshaft.

I also run the metal outdrives in the front diff to add some weight upfront - in tital, mine weighs in at about 1650g as far as I can remember.

Thanks that is helpful

I have weight under the lipo. Think thats enough. Could tell you how much is it though because someone else did it for me

couldnt* sorry type error

I only put about 50g in the gap between the belt cover and chassis edge opposite the motor to get the left-right balance correct at the front wheels. this is because the brushless motor I use is a little longer and heavier than the brushed it was designed for.

I have 25g fitted under the front belt/layshaft, and have interchangable 40g weights fitted to the front or back of both lipos (using industrial velcro) which means i can swap weight positions if needed.

When running mine i had the following.

In the front channel under the front layshaft heading towards the diff i had glued 70's as low as possible. This made a huge difference with the power understeer that the car is prone to have.

Then i had, 7g's either side on the tuneel next to the steering bell cranks

15's next to the opening where you looking for the gear.

I then had two thin lead plates under the lipo's that i was running.

May all sound a bit drastic, but it made quite a difference

cheers Danny, do you know what your total weight was?

Sorry but i cant remember. I know it was not as heavy as the 2wd and that was about 1700.

Cheers, mine is just under 1700 now from about 1550 so should notice an improvement :)
