XRAY - Model racing cars

Hi guys,

My T4 is pretty much standard from the kit, when i weigh it with all electrics and shell it weighs well over the 1350g limit.

Wheres the best areas to target to reduce weight? i.e swapping parts/bolts etc

Thanks

Nathan

strange as mine is 80g under

Sure your scales are accurate?

Standard electrics with 6000 lipo's AND a large Nosram heatsink with 40mm fan, mine weigh's 1358g

The best you'll manage changing screws etc is a few grams.
If you really want to lower it change electrics.

What does your car weigh?

Yea scales are fine, been on several.

Electrics are - ORCA VX ESC, ORCA 6500 infinite lipos, savox shorty servo, sanwa 451 reciever, Dynamite 13.5 motor and a much more 40mm fan.

Car weighs about 1370, so its not far off but it doesent allow me to put the weight where i want it as it goes even more overweight,

Thanks

How does it get even more overweight?

1370g is fine, better than making the car so weak with lightweight parts that it can't finish a race.

20 g overweight is fine and I would say just leave it alone

when i say more overweight i mean if i want to try and balance the car up left to right, front to back etc i have to add more weight to it as it is which is 1370 so it gets heavier and heavier

Thanks

Just move around the electrics and lipo until it is closed to balanced.

Do you have any photo's of your cars electrics, we might be able to make suggestions.

Lots of cable??

What tyres are you running as some can vary by around 20g in weight?

Check your body....regular weight body and custom paint will put more weight than you would think onto your car..and high up where it will hurt the most....
