B4 + Lipo = adding weight?

[Martijn]

Hi,

I drive a B4, with Nimh cells, but this year, we going to drive lipo's in our club.
So my question is; Where and how much weight do I put in my B4?

The minimum weight of the car needs to be 1474 grams, I think this is not enough because the car is to light?

Thanks,
Martijn.

You can add weight in the following places:

Brass front bulkhead
Brass rear hinge pin brace
Brass under servo mount
Brass under lipo sheet

Of course you could use lead here...

I used brass front bulkhead and rear hinge pin brace. This would be a good start i think. Lipos also vary in weight between specs and mfrs.

Around the 270g mark for a stick pack is nominal. If its under, and you have room, fit some lead or brass sheet under your lipo to bring it up.

If you cant get the brass bulkhead, the under servo weignt is a good alternative.

Ok!
Thanks man,

But how do I know how much lead?
Is there a rule or something for this? =S

Well as a guide, check out these websites:

www.trishbits.com
www.p-dubracing.co.uk/page_1267563700774.html

Both these do the front bulkhead and rear brace.

Rudebits do the lipo plates for the servo and under lipo.

Hope this helps!
