210 rear weight, setup

[Jarred King]

Anyone else drove there 210 out of the box and thought the rear end was to soft?

I thought my 210 was fast untill i drove a friends TLR 22 and it felt alot more planted in the rear.

Im still running box setup with Losi 30 in rear and 32.5 in front. Car is plenty of steering just doesnt have the rear grip like a 22. im thinking some rear chassis weights? I havent weighed both cars but i assume the 22 is heavier.

anyone make rear chassis weights for 210?

I just tried the carbon link plate (shorter camber links at rear) and added 75gms lead block behind the battery and gained 1sec lap and really stabilized the car.

I've had the Cream weight blocks fitted from the original build and the car has been planted from the off. Running slightly thicker oils, indoors, carpet/gym floor.

Was this just a weight block you added?, or was it a purpose machined item?

Just a piece of lead (old type car wheel weights) stuck into a block the shape and size of the battery and covered in heatshrink (maplins),you can make up a few different sizes and try them .
Take out the front battery stop and move the battery forward to fit and cut a piece of foam to take up any slack.:thumbsup:
