Here is a pic of how I have cut the topdecks and a base setup sheet for asphalt which I usually work from.

I will be testing with Andy M from Friday-Sunday at Snetterton Park track in the UK as it is the venue for the next UK national. I will post the setup I end up on if you like, as it is low-medium grip and could also be a good setup to work from.

Hope this helps,

Phil.
phil,

how did the racing in snetterton go?
learn anything new there?

when i look at your top deck cut i seem to think it is more flex then the one andy moore ran. last time i tried a cut top deck was a std topdeck cut where the belt tensioner is. i found this to be slower then the full std deck and the full tc deck. but perhaps grip levels are different for it to work less well?

is that track right on the doorstep of the real snetterton race circuit actually?

Hi again , i have balanced my car side to side and done what ive been told , but just a question of curiousity , to get to the minimum weight limit , iv'e added a strip of 60 gr to the outside of my lipo , its not sticking out of the chassis but i did it like this because on the motor side , the server is just on the edge of the chassis , same for the receiver and esc and motor is sticking , so i did it so it would be equal both side , but i was wondering if i should take the 60 gr off and put it on the chassis behind and in front of the lipo pack , will it make the CG ( center of ... ) higher or not , or is it best to get a lipo weight tray to make the CG lower . by the way , i had to trim 1.5 mm of the bulkhead , so would a tray fit ?

Thanks to everyone in advance .

A lower CG is always better but you should try to equal the other side of the chassis. I would say to use the lipo tray and then stack the extra weights infront and behind the battery.
