just different weight split f/r..

battery forward would give more oversteer in, and less forward grip on the power.. battery back, would make it less twitchy/ tighter into the corner, but would have more drive and more stable off corner

Wow

A couple of the guys at our local club are trying 17.5 blinky, and although it is slower than 10.5, it does require a differant type of driving style to go quickly. After watching them go around, I don't know if it's 'easier' to drive or not to be honest!

I've got one on the way! How many runs do you normally get out of it, or do you just charge it every run?

You can easily get 2 runs, maybe even 3, but it's best to charge after every 2 full runs.

Battery forward decreases weight transfer front to rear under acceleration and deceleration which in general settles the car down. The car will rotate more quickly through the corner with the battery in the rear position. Rear battery position will offer more steering off power, and square up quicker on-power leaving the corner. It will also have a slightly greater tendency to traction roll due to the increase in weight transfer.

Most set-ups for big races have the battery forward due to the high level of grip afforded by large turnouts. A car can benefit greatly from moving the battery back on club tracks with less grip.

+1 If you go for that 3rd heat you're rolling the dice. Eric can tell you, I've died in the middle of a couple of heats.

imo
Very accurate description

Hi,

We only run 1/12th mod here South Africa. I would like to know if a 6000 mAh battery with a C-Rating of 45C will be good enough for anything between a 4Turn - 5.5 turn motor?

Thanks

Hey Everyone,

Ive got a xray X12 and Im having traction issues and doesnt seem to accelerate straight either.

The track I run on is ashphalt which low traction and a little bumpy.

Setup is standard with 7.5T motor. Tyres are Xceed soft rears and Medium fronts.

Im willing to get new springs and shock oils.

Just want to be put in the right direction before I get anything

Any help will be appreciated!

Cheers

Kevin

I had a similar issue on my X12. I wound up balancing the chassis and pod separately on pins, then putting them together and balancing again.

Whats your setup?

Someone remember the first CRC cars using rear wheels of the old 2 hole system? Did CRC have their own wheels that time? Any pictures?

I just got my Rectech pack and I have a question about charging it. It comes with 2 leads, and one looks like a balancing plug. I assumed this is a 1s pack, so why a balance lead. Can I still charge it using the receiver plug?

It is a two cell pack.

Yes you can charge it through the receiver plug.

Hey Silvalis,

Setup is all stock at the moment just played around with weight to try make it better.

Are associated springs compatible with the X12?

Cheers
