ON that note; someone talk me positive.. here.
So with the longer chassis of the truggy, why would this not be used to better balance the truggy instead of front loading everything and using the ebuggy battery tray/sides? Could have allowed longer lipo's by making a truggy tray? hmm. Has anyone been out on big jumps? I would think from how this sits and the weight distro that it would be a fight to keep it level on bigger jumps and not want to nose dive.. What shock oils w/ the 8hole pistons are you running still 500 rear, 600 front? Again someone who has ran please tell me my thoughts are all wrong... TY
The more weight you have in the front of the chassis, the better it will fly. Think of a hammer, it follows a nice trajectory because of the weight distribution. If you try to throw it backwards, it will swap ends so the heavier end is forward. This is one of the reasons why we have the weight forward.
The other is corner speed. If you have too much weight in the rear it will want to swap ends (like the hammer) and slow the car in corners, reducing corner speed. A forward weight bias increases and maintains corner speed.
If you're having issues with any vehicle not flying consistently in the air, it is usually remedied with setup. SC is a special case since they don't allow rear wings, but the same principles apply. Suspension and springs make more of a difference in those conditions and once you find the right combination, you get faster cornering with consistent jump handling.
