where should the weight go

[danny the elfman]

hey guys, im just pondering where i should weight my mad monkey for racing on carpet. I have lead so thats what im weighting it with. The picture shows where i have weight in the car. Blue is where i have lead, red is where i have no weight but have space to put it. I didnt want to put it on the edges of the battery tray because im trying to stop body roll abit more.Thanks for reading

I used to run loads under the lipos, under the speedo and under the servo. And put as much that I could get to fit into the front end and rear end (between gearbox and motor). I have now fabricated a new alloy chassis which strangly doesnt need much added weight at all.

i only run weight under the lipo in my x2c.

i recomend just running the car in the out door setup and then see what the car dous, and change the car accordingley, also keep a record of what you do and what each change dous to the car.

i have done more indoor than outdoor this seson due to a late build and i basically turn my mad monkey into a touring car, hard and low but stay away from spoked rims if there are jumps and the surface you will be probably be racing on will be solid, resusulting in broken rims, lower centre of gravity reduces grip roll, however, be carfull of back end impacts as it could damage the rear gearbox and contents and shift the motor away from the spur. Hope this helps.

9t brushless
2 degree neg front and rear camber
terrabyte front and rear
two inch slipper lift when holding down, as you will probably find you will run out of room indoors and will be very aggressive on acceleration
20% drag brake with new tyres
