Okay, I am going the mid motor route over here in the US. Most mid motor setups that I've seen use the weight system pictured below to add some weight to the back of the buggy to increase rear traction a bit. It screws onto the top of the rear bulkhead and hangs the weight over the rear of the buggy. Anyhow, seeing as how the 22 is so new, there aren't any of these weights available for another month or so, so I'm looking to see what I can possibly make myself to serve the same purpose.
Looking for a weight somewhere between 50-60 grams (1.76-2.11 ounces).
I'm thinking of making some sort of weight with lead fishing weights and JB welding it to a piece of lexan or thin carbon fiber that I can screw into the transmission to achieve the same effect. Anyone else have any other ideas?
