Title: Car Ballance
Post by: BCbud on September 19, 2010, 11:10:05 PM
Good day!

I got my CRC 3.1 together today and the right side is 7g lighter than the left and the car as it stands rtr weights 740g with some half used CRC tires on it. The weight will be more when I mount a set of old Jacos (I have 3 sets that I want too use up)that have a lot of rubber on them. My question is do I add the 7g to make it ballance perfect and make it heaveyer or leave it as it is?

Thanks Neil.

I added 7g to mine for balance. I don't worry about end weight at this point as staying of the walls is going to help me more.

Yes Neil, you certainly want the car balance side to side, or you will have major handling issue. Same as having a tweaked chassis.
