So Rusty.... with ALL of that being said, how did your truck handle anyway?

the 50/50 weight distribution thing in ThunderbirdJunkie's opinion is a bunch of bunk.
ThunderbirdJunkie believes that the only reason better handling is achieved is because the polar moment of inertia is smaller, not because of actual weight distribution.
For example:
If we hang a small motor off each end of a 4wd car, one in front of the front axle centerline, and one behind the rear axle centerline, will this car handle better or worse than an identically weighted 4wd car with one big motor that weighs the same as each of the small motors mounted in the center?
If we built a Porsche 911 that had the engine in the rear, the transmission in the front, and still driving the rear wheels, for another example, it would not handle as well as a normal 911.
Polar moment of inertia, folks. That is why mid engine is generally preferred for high traction handling.

Well Okay then. You,me Team Losi all agree that the 4 gear mid motor is
more for novice drivers.
Notice how Team Losi keeps repeating the mid motor 4 gear is more
forgiving to drive. (just a polite way of saying novice friendly) in this
video about the the new 22.....

This pretty well closes my case...
Enjoy racing what ever it is you like to drive...

I think I hear an echo in here of what I posted a few pages back..

Sorry about that, Chuck...must've missed it amidst all the arguing, ha.
