Right,
I've had to get back to the drawing board on these. The first prototypes were too light, and also there were issues with the height of the whole thing, meaning I had to raise my bodyshell. Also as it turned out, my Lipos were 25mm high, as per the new regulations that will be in place starting 1st of april 2010 (as opposed to the previous 23.5mm).
So here's what I came up with, this time you will need the logs cut off, and there will be some foam of whatever needed on the outside edge of the chassis to prevent the weights from moving side to side (the radius of the chassis at the back prevents the lipos from being flush with the chassis). The overall weight is epected to be 180g, which is what Nick Caro is running on his car, my previous set was only 140g and the car was too difficult to drive.
Let me know what you think and if you're interested, I will have a batch made hopefully for before X-mas if I reach 10 demands soon enough. Price is expected to be in the £50 area, to be confirmed (and depends on how many demands I get).
