Durga vs TRF501X : weight distribution
I had a discussion a few weeks ago with one of the guys of Aero. At one point I asked why they used so much anti-squad and it seemed to be because they believed a lot of modern 4wd's haven't got enough weight on the rear axle, making them bouncy and unstable on bumps. The anti-squad was there to compensate for this.
I made the switch to Lipo's in my TRF501 and you can immediately notice that the centre of gravity shifts forwards a lot. I yet have to test the car with the Lipo's but I was thinking : with Lipo's, the motor as a bigger influence on the centre of gravity of a car and the DB01 has the motor in a more rearward position. Could it be that a hopped up DB01 might be the better choise when running Lipo's ?
