Ideal 4wd wheight distribution

[Mr. Red]

What is The generell ideal front to back distribution for a 4wd buggy?

I can not spell either....

When I designed Mako it was targeting a perfect 50/50 balance. On the track it proved that a slight rearward balance proved best, about 48/52 IIRC.

Not sure on others thoughts on this though and really should get the FS2 on the corner scales as I don't think she is far off 50/50, again maybe just a fraction rearward by feel. Won't know for sure until we measure I guess.

When I built my carbon cc4 that was 50/50 and on the few times it run (6) it was ace
I wanted a mako

[Mr. Red]

I am doing a serious mod of an old B44 and bought a B44.1 just to get some more measurements of it. That is why I asking. It is going to be more like the trf502 but it looks like that car has got the weight more forward than others.

What is this Mako you speak of. Sorry, I have totally missed it. Please show me

The mako was a shaft driven yokomo mr4bd made of carbon sheet like a bj4 and was quite ahead of it's time back then when the only competitive 1/10th 4wd buggy available was the losi xxx4!
I thought it was a one off made by a model shop and someone who used to post on here and rcracechat ( sorry for swearing C•€k ) but I cannot remember their name?
Didn't realise it was yours Roger.

Roger designed it and the shop you were thinking of is D.C. Racing. Be interesting to know what happened to the buggies - how many prototypes were out there?
