Default Servo Weight

I have seen mentioned that most people seem to be running weight/weights around the servo area. My servo is sat on the chassis floor so i cant see how anything could be put underneath the servo itself, therefore where do you all put the weight ??

I've got some wheel weights on top of the servo (20g) and some smaller 5g ones on the sides but cant see anywhere else to put them unless its around the arm side.

I use a slightly modified Rudebits under servo weight. I brought it originally to fit my x-pro but use it in both my x-pro and x2c. It started off at 74g but I reckon it is priobably more around the 70g mark now due to having tio remove some parts of it to get it to fit. Before that I just had a load of tyre weights on top of the servo.

I think rudebits only do the one for the x-pro/madrat at the moment as the servo bay between the x-pro and the x2c is slightly different it wouldn't be a straight fit into the monkey so would need a bit of dremel work to get it to fit correctly.

That reminds me I must send my spare chassis off to Tony so he can do some that fit straight in.

70g seems the magic number, ive got a short servo in my one and stuch aloot on the back of it, you should fit 70g on top of a standard one

If you put a 1mm or 2mm spacer underneath each sevo mount then you get some room under it for weight

Yeah I've seen between 50-70g seems to be on the money. Got 30 in the servo with another 5 right up front in the nose. Standard sized servo means not much room behind either - might see if i can get another 2 5's in there, although with my shocks mounted on the front 'B4' stylee its pulled the C of G forward anyways

I,m sure Tony @ Rudebits could knock some x2c weights up if there was enough interest.
For now the Xpro/Madrat weight can be easily filed/ground down to fit.
I did mine on a grindstone at work in seconds.and probably now weighs around 70g.
