£14 posted for an under lipo and under electronics weight should weigh about 107 and 38 grams respectively

DCM 05-04-2011 06:03 PM

It would weigh 9% more yes but it's a pig to machine and would mean it would be about £15 for the under lipo weight alone I will make brass but it would be about £25 for the both

I'm actually not interested in under lipo weights, but rather something around the gearbox, something that is aft of the lipos. Is there a plan to do something around there?

Steel T piece? or wishbone mounting blocks?

Lipo weights look good mate

Battle_axe 11-04-2011 07:00 PM

Yeah pivot blocks maybe not the t as it's a complex pattern really and it would probably weigh close to 120g

What material for the t plate though?

mattybucks 11-04-2011 08:24 PM

Depends of the amount of weight you would want to achieve. You also want the weight as low as possible.

As above really! :thumbsup:

Also the pivot blocks to accept the plastic pivot ball inserts as in these:

Is it just me who wouldn't want anymore weight on the back? :(

t-Piece would be a tricky thing to so as it has the gearbox mounted to it. Was easier on the rat as the gearbox wasn't bolted to it. I would like to see seperate block on the front though so we can change the anitsquat.

I am pretty sure the block you would need to make for the front is the same as the original rat one (I Measured this up before but can't remmeber which one I found was match now.)

Back to the weights, is it 14 pound per pair or 14 pounds each? and how do I order?

I've not got one so I don't know if this is possible, but when I had a Mardave cobra I used to put a couple of washers between the front gearbox and the chassis to raise it a bit, or give a greater degree of anti-squat.
