Wow, that's so unbalanced. Keeping up with the legacy of TC4 with the motor-side extra weight.. Or is there a secret lightweight BL motor coming out?

In this photo, the car is set-up with a heavy body and only required 3/4 oz. to bring it to the minimum. With a standard lightweight body an additional 1/2 oz was required. Full production parts will lighten things a bit more as will the use if titanium hardware.

Hope for the AE fans that a some type of motor guard is used.

White outdrives are probably made out of delrin, most likely for prototype purposes

Re: motor position
Did you ever consider that there will be heavier NiMh batteries? And that electronics continue to get smaller? Not trying to be a smart guy, but remember the TC3 had to have the batteries moved in to compensate as cells got heavier.

Who here really thinks the designers, and racers that are testing this car, dont have a clue about how to balance a car out ? Give them a lil credit, I think Id at least wait until I had one on my bench before I started complaining about the layout........
