Hi i was wondering if some one who uses brushless and nimh could tell me how they balanced their cars.

I just recently got some scales and some weights and I managed to balance it right to left but the corner weights are way out from each other so any help would be good.

yea its 4 scales I did it cause since changing to bl the right side of the car has been really heavy compared to the left

Martin Hofer

my car is well balanced .. no need to trim anything

standard sized servo (extremely fast Graupner servo), Ko rx, GM Genius 120 and gm pro brushless motor on left side

and basic 5cell nimh pack on the right side

I just got done racing the 10.5 class in the Bending corners mayham race...
race format was 1qual and 1main x4 different layouts... 1 point goes to tq and 50 points for 1st, 49 for 2nd and so on for each layout....

I got out to a slow start in the first layout qualifying 3rd and finished 5th...
I TQ'd and won the 2nd round, Qualified 2nd and finished 2nd in the 3rdrd, I had a chance to win it but bobbled, I qualified 2nd and finished 1st in the final layout to take the overall win....

The only change I did to the car all day is change my tires from some worn out rp30s to sorex 36 mounted on yokomo wheels and superthin firm inserts....
