Now I see. Thanks for sharing a pic to better understand. Any difference in handling?

Wild Cherry

use post #4321

Only difference is I grinded the battery box off and my thumb screws are separated from the brace. This was done to help bring more flex to chassis in front of waterfall.

BTW

Hey Mark ! Good work & well done on your inline.

Wild Cherry

For Trcr

Remove the waterfall or brace and the rear flex becomes excessive and adds to much traction with a lost of stability.

The car's stall is made stronger and becomes quite noticeable .

Whole reason for the inline to reduce the stall all mid motors battle.

Very nice. Double sided tape for battery? What did your car weigh this way?

Thank you. No it still uses the battery strap. Just didn't have it on in the pic. As for weight not sure. Haven't weight with this set up.

slappomatt

look at the CG of the battery. You might as well have left it stock. Havent changed anything.

If the focus is to get the weight over the rear then the battery back makes sense. Considering he runs the shorty servo and is able to get the electronics relatively inline as far as weight goes,how is this even similar to stock?

Explain this to me like I am 5 because I am obviously not seeing your point.

Not even close to the same CG as I ran before. No were near stock

I'll be testing it tomorrow. Thanks Wild Cherry for sharing this mod.

i think he is saying that the center of mass of the battery looks similar to the stock back position, but with this you remove alot of "mass-roll" so the car doesnt dump in the center of the corner as much.

Yeah I see what he is saying. I ran by battery all the way forward so it won't be remotely the same. I found that to work best with the shorty packs that are 155 grams.

This makes sense. The roll is what we are addressing by going inline correct?

i believe that is the main purpose. but looking at it a shorty is not much wider then the motor/trans anyway....

Wild Cherry

my pleasure, make sure to check ride height before running.
Suggest 23.5mm front & rear.

Take the time to remove the battery tray & separate the thumb screws.
Its the fun part....lol

If you feel the need for more traction suggest green rear spring.

I'm running for shocks

Front
1.4 x 3 piston ,37.5w ,Grey front
Rear
1.6 x 2 , 32.4w, white spring

Wild Cherry

Oman !
Speaking bout shocks .....

Tomorrow testing Losi # 55 x 4 piston
35w front 30w rear..

I tell everyone want happens , can trust me..
