Servo Weight

[lordnikon]

I have seen mentioned that most people seem to be running weight/weights around the servo area. My servo is sat on the chassis floor so i cant see how anything could be put underneath the servo itself, therefore where do you all put the weight ??

I've got some wheel weights on top of the servo (20g) and some smaller 5g ones on the sides but cant see anywhere else to put them unless its around the arm side. :blush:

i have put 70g ontop of my servo it seems to work fine just plonked there :)

I use a slightly modified Rudebits under servo weight. I brought it originally to fit my x-pro but use it in both my x-pro and x2c. It started off at 74g but I reckon it is priobably more around the 70g mark now due to having tio remove some parts of it to get it to fit. Before that I just had a load of tyre weights on top of the servo.

I think rudebits only do the one for the x-pro/madrat at the moment as the servo bay between the x-pro and the x2c is slightly different it wouldn't be a straight fit into the monkey so would need a bit of dremel work to get it to fit correctly.

That reminds me I must send my spare chassis off to Tony so he can do some that fit straight in.

70g seems the magic number, ive got a short servo in my one and stuch aloot on the back of it, you should fit 70g on top of a standard one

If you put a 1mm or 2mm spacer underneath each sevo mount then you get some room under it for weight :thumbsup:

Yeah I've seen between 50-70g seems to be on the money. Got 30 in the servo with another 5 right up front in the nose. Standard sized servo means not much room behind either :( - might see if i can get another 2 5's in there, although with my shocks mounted on the front 'B4' stylee its pulled the C of G forward anyways

I,m sure Tony @ Rudebits could knock some x2c weights up if there was enough interest.
For now the Xpro/Madrat weight can be easily filed/ground down to fit.
I did mine on a grindstone at work in seconds.and probably now weighs around 70g.

if you speak to matt at tellstar racing im sure he can hook you up with a cr racing weight :thumbsup: perfect fit :) all water jet cut brass :thumbsup:

I had some spare brass lying around and made a template that fits underneath the servo. Wasnt diffucult to make and weighs about 30g.

Also made a weight to fit under the front suspension brace, 35g.

also got 50g under the lipo.

Is that race legal? Looks like it could cause a pretty nasty injury having all that metal exposed up front?

I have some 3mm lead flashing cut to shape under the servo Weighs 67g.
Just pop 2 holes in it and mount the servo on top of the lead.
