I have a question about balancing the T2'007 US with the Novak brushless.
I have the following electronics in the car:
LRP Sphere Comp 07+cooling fan
Futaba Low Profile servo
Ko Receiver
Novak 13.5 + cooling fan
AMB personal trans
With IB4200WC battery I have to add a lot of lead to the battery side to get the car balanced. I end up around 1573g/55.5 (with foams) when I reach the balanced condition. When using LIPO I end up around 1535/54.2. The difference is because I can put lead under the pack and also to the side where the NIMH has the battery bars. It is still 4 ounces over the legal limit.
My question is what is better:
a, to have an unbalanced car which is on the legal limit or
b, balance the car and dont worry about the overweight (we are talking about ~140g/5ounces here)
Or is there a way to balance the T2 and have less overweight? Could you share some pictures of layouts which are working well...
I'm gonna get the ribbed endbell soon to decrease the overall weight of the motor but it is so close to the centerline of the car so it won't help much with the balance
thanks
