No kidding? that's interesting. There are some fast guys by us who swear by the inline, and other who don't. That got me thinking that maybe Associated wouldn't let team drivers modify things that heavily and possibly hurt sales, being that the engineers didn't catch this from the start. Its got me curious to try it... and I suppose its easy enough to switch back. For those who switched... do you find it helps you in balance, or traction? if it induces more side bite, I'd be all for it.
Instead of lap times that lack basic scientific method, can I just get pictures and numbers from a corner weight setup?
I'm now tempted to pickup 4 scales and see for myself, but I would like to see what changes the numbers show, and then run the setup that reflects the numbers I'm after.

I too, wondered how much the inline changed the weight distribution, and as I recall, there was little difference on the scales. There was a picture either on here or B5nation (facebook). If I can find it, I will post it.
Another method would be a G meter and a preset course, like a circle of a certain size.

It definitely reacts alot quicker in corners... Took me a min to get used to it but once adjusted was fine... I only ran for about three packs. Wife was nagging me to come home so had to pack it up... Cant wait till i get a whole day to truly test it... I was blown away i dropped my laptimes that much in just three packs of testing... I didnt lose any rear grip it seemed also...

Yeah the whole inline battery or battery and electronics topic has confused me. Maybe its just personal preference, or believing something feels better because you want it to... but any of the big races I've been to, Cav and those guys have their batteries and electronics in the stock locations, and not hacking up their cars to relocate anything. I did see Cav moved his steering servo to the opposite side on his B44.3... but other than that, if the pros aren't cutting cars apart to get them to handle, I cant believe they don't work without re-configuring everything.

I would "guess" that also. I have no proof of that though.

My local track has a lot of rocks in their dirt. Scratches up the alu chassis pretty good/quick.
Also, I know for myself, I go through chassis protectors not from use, but from maintenance on the car, having to get to screws and such. I won't cut holes in the protector for the screws. I will usually just replace the protector when I have to get to screws. I'm a little picky when it comes to my cars though.

Would probably be easier to use some kind of small hole saw bit if you could find one small enough to get the cleanest fit.
is the shelle ball stud mount I have the thin side up with 2 mm spacer in the middle hole?

What kind of gearing are you guys running for 17.5 with around 100 foot straight and decent jumps?
So then why is it ok for cavalieri to drill holes and mount servo on opposite side on his b44.3 or drill new holes in the front arms for shock mounts?
Or the t4.2's drilling 4th holes in the rear towers?
B4's grinding rear ballstud mount down.?
I am sure AE would prefer they not hack up a car. Cavalieri did testing on preproductions. I bet they tried the inline at that time and found the stock setup to be preferred for most situations.
