LAZER SP WEIGHT

[mattb]

i weighd my car last week with lipo in and its only 1480grams now ive got a flat piece of zinc to put under the battery to make it 1588g legal weight is this the right way to go about it??

yep

ive addad about 100g what do you think? do you go just for legal weight or add the weight to make the lipo same weight as cells ?

With 4600Nimhs the car was heavy on the battery side, so i've gone for increasing the weight under the lipo battery to try and get a good side to side balance.

So my lipo + lead is still a good bit lighter than my nimh packs were.

How much weight you need depends on heavy heavy all your electrics are, and of course the type of lipo as there is a significant weight difference between low and high capacity packs.

I had a piece of lead cut to fit the lipo from another car, i put that in and it was pretty much right on the first guess!

thanks mate i think mine should be about right now then my lipo and zinc is still a bit lighter that one of my stick packs it should handle better now eh! im using track power 3600 30c lipos

Amazing, If I take out the 207g from your 3600/30C, and compare to my titanium-screw ZX5, you're still 20g lighter ! How do you achieve this ?

(My 4 wheels are 205g, my body 70g)
