where to weight the b4

[captainlip]

Got my weights today and looking for info on where to place the weights for more grip and handling? Also over jumps need to keep the throttle going to lift the front end up.

All advice will be tried and tested!

Hey,

Start with about 20grms in the rear bulkhead between the gearbox and the rear suspension mount.

Then about the same on the front bulkhead.

If you are running lipo with the stock battery strap you can add about 40 - 60 grms to the battery strap.

That should give a good starting point.

Here's a post from my b4 when I added weights to it:

Check out the whole thread for alot more information on how I set it up

Use the kitchens scales to get some data behind what you're doing. Measure the weight on the front wheels, then the rear wheels. Divide the front weight by the total front and rear to get the percentage front weight distribution.

B4 should be around 33% front without added weight, you need to add to the front to get at least 35% front for astro.

Put around 70g under your servo and between 50 - 90g under your Lipos depending on track conditions. Also run a Ghea front bulkhead again for certain tracks..... Dialled !!!

Are people still adding weight to a b4.1? Associated say the b4.1 was designed to be setup for todays light weight lipos

Hey Tony

Can you please explain further the different track conditions that require different weights in the car?

When do we use the "heavy" car and when a lighter one? When the Ghea products and when the different weights that you make?
