Default X2C weight

Getting to the point now where i want to fine tune the X2C alittle. I have some weight under the servo aswell as some in and around the motor area. It still jumps nose heavy causing some breakages with some of the larger jumps yesterday.

What do people run weight wise in theirs to even out the jumping on the car ?

I run the weight kit from battle axe on here. It's very good and balances the car very well

Hope it helps

Your suspension will also have a huge effect on how the car jumps
If the rear is to stiff your car will jump nose down

ide put about 90gramms under the lipos and that is it. if the car feels balanced then putting weight up front moves the balance forward and makes it nose heavy. you want the car at about a 70 / 30 weight split towards the rear of the car.

Hi Steve,
My car flies extremely well with only 20grams in the nose, if you've never tried the car like this it would be well worth having a go to see if it suits your driving style

I have been the running the Team-C bulk head alloy piece and no other weight, until at last night's club racing and...

With Battle Axe's (Carl) under servo weight specialising designed for the X2C it was faster

I have heard talk of putting weight under the lipos to stop the tail snatching but not sure mine needs that, so maybe something for the future tinkering
