the blue one or red one(loctite)

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.

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

As long as it's thread lock of some sort it won't really matter. The Loctite I use is really old and the numbers have rubbed off but it's browny/red in colour.

You can get the new belts and pulley's from RC Champ; they had them for several weeks now...

Blue, if you use red it will never come off. Red is for real 1:1 cars.

Yeah, I figured that, for now, when my car is set up for the race day (Get rid of tweak, cambar and all that re set) after the last race, my car is hooked up awsome

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

That maybe so, but I don't have any problems using it....

You just cant over use it

Then it will get to be a pain

BlackedOutREVO,

Please don't post anymore photo's of this TC5...
I have the misfortune of pitting next to this Rockape every weekend and his head is big enough without plastering photo's of his car on every forum... (j/k)

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.

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.

Haha.... I know, its pretty ugly..... But shows what I wanted to show


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?

ShaunMac

This will give you the best balance without having to relocate your electronics to the other side. It will also be the fair thing to do if you are racing with others running 6-cell cars.

here is another way to balance the car (4 cell mod but almost the same)

That should make up for my driving

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?
