Finished the car's setup today, was a real treat as everything turned out beautifully.

I'm also very impressed with the quality of the shock absorbers, these are the best I've ever build.
Perfectly symmetrical in both bound and rebound and already very smooth.

Had to add 20 grams to the left side to balance the car, I added 15 next to the battery and 5 behind the engine mount against the LR bulkhead.

As you can see below the cornerweights came out really good, this is with equally preloaded shocks.


350.6 vs 350.8


457.5 vs 455.4

Total weight of the car with a Lipo battery, low profile throttle servo, 10 Ti screws and the wheels shown in the pictures is 1488 grams. Without body off course.
But pretty respectable for a stock car.








Now only if it would stop raining.
This weekend I have the last round of our nationals and I don't want to go there with a car which has never been run before.
