Mini + lead + lipo = what the...?
I finally got hold of a digital scale today, and have been weighing my m03. Now, my m03, with a body (that's got some reinforcing) that weighs over 70g, an Orion 2400 and some lead, my car weighs in at 1215g.
I've got lead flashing (about 20g) stuffed in the front bumper, two 7g weights in the back section of the chassis and lead flashing (about 85g) attached to the bottom of the battery.
Even with the NiCAD the car only weighs in in the low 1300s.
I've calibrated the scale using known weights and it's dead accurate.
So, anyone have any thoughts about this? I thought minis with nicads/nimhs were supposed to weigh in at around 1350 minimum.
