As you can see, it's as close of the belt it could, that was the goal... Don't forget, the heaviest part on this side after the motor is the servo (When metal gearing) then ESC and finally the receiver... Here I do not put the ESC in the center because of the wires... But I think it could be more better...



Sorry about the poor quality...

Default tube chassis

I changed my graphite chassis for the Cyclone S tube chassis for asphalt racing. I haven't been to track yet, but how will this change affect performance?

Although some would say it is a little inconsistent, i think the Plastic Tub actually handles better on a asphalt/parking lot track. You get the steering AND traction with it. Only downfall is that it is heavier.

The Hotbodies team is running strong here at the Nats. Ty is running well with the new TCX, remember he hasn't run On-road asphalt in a long time. There are also 3 Hotbodies in the top ten of Expert 17.5 We are all working together and getting faster every round. I missed the first qualifier and a over voltage battery was to blame. Second qualifier made up for it

Could someone explain under what track conditions and situation would you use the cut rear deck and cut middle deck?

Also what situation would you use say just a cut rear deck or just the middle deck?

An explanation would be great

Thankyou
