Default My weighted ZX

Guys,

I've finally done it and worked out how to weigh the car properly.

I've added the cell hole Zeppin brass plates (15g each totaling 90g) and now after a bit of dremelling I have managed to fit two Rude tony brass weights for the Lazer ZX-5 FS (40g x 2 totaling 80g) and due to the carbon fibre centre chassis plate having a bit of space they slot in perfectly and also moves the weight more inline by 3mm on either side of my Lipo tray sides hecne why I used blue foam tape. Basically with the three TRF511 centre chassis plates as well plus the Lipo saddles it all adds up to the same weight as the NIMH so should work well.

Oh yeah before I forget I did have to raise the top deck by 1.5mm so I could still attach my batt connectors on the Lipos.

Testing tomorrow to see if its as good as it looks.
