I club race, no tech
No weight limit, so with no limit, what would you do then?
I want to stay nice and light, with all the alu on the cyclone its alot heavier then the tc5, I did notice that, or atleast it seemed that way because we have the same electronics in out cars

Running the car 100+ grams lighter on one side will make for an inconsistent handling car. Especially in low grip conditions.

Being light as possible certainly has its advantages. If there weren't any weight restrictions in racing I would run as light as possible while still maintaining a close 50/50 balance on the chassis. Just like in 5-cell, lighter is faster but it requires some shifting of electronics in the car to get the balance right.

I am going to be racing on carpet, and there will be lots of traction there
How far off would you recommend I could run my car before you run into handling issues? I have lots of room to move stuff around, so thats no biggie.....
EDIT
With some thinking and trying stuff out, I think I could make this work with the lipo, that would really help balance the chassis out I think.. Please ignore the blue lol

How much this affects your handling really depends on many variables including: track conditions, set-up and driving style. You can probably get away with more of an uneven weight balance running foams on carpet compared to any other racing condition. While rubber tires on low bite asphalt benefits most from a truly balanced set-up.

I would suggest running the car with the proper weight added to make the 50/50 balance as close as possible. As you deviate from a 50/50 balance, chassis roll(left to right) will not react equally linear in both directions. It will also affect how weight transfers from front to back.

Yeah, I just want to keep my car as light as possible......
Your saying pretty much make the lipo the same weight as a round cell pack?

I will see when im to the point of making it work.... I know I will be using a trakpower 4900 mah gold pack, I want high mah for more weight.....
Nice! That looks like a light combo! But sorta slow? Or?
