Here are a few pics of my latest changes.



I wanted to experiment more with my idea and try to centralize the mass more and make the weight bias adjustable so the car would work on loose and medium to high grip tracks, and feel the difference of changing weight bias.



You can see how far back the servo is now. Its just shy of an inch further back.





I removed the motor cover piece and trimmed the motor plate and gear cover to move the battery back. This allowed me to move the servo way back. I moved the esc on top of the battery to get even more weight back. I installed a Tekin esc when my Novak final died after I think close to 8 years of use. I am switching back to a Novak because the are far smoother and linear IMO.





Without the brass weight system the car is at 67% rear weight bias.

Ran it a few weeks ago and it started to get pretty quick toward the end of the night, despite having the wrong front tires and not having raced in almost 3 years. Came in 3rd overall behind 2 fast guys. And this was on a fairly loose surface. I was in the lead until I made a mistake.


Might take it to an indoor clay track this weekend and play with the brass weight system I just got to see the affect. With the weights in place the car now has 68.5% rear weight bias. I want to try combinations of longer wheel base and different weights to see the affect.

Ill try to get some better pics soon.
