Weight in 210 ?

[andys]

Anyone running additional weight in the 210 ?

Seems a bit odd that most other 2wd cars run (quite a lot of) extra weight, but not the 210...

Would be interested to hear anyone who's tried it.

I'm running 20g behind the servo, it just made the smallest difference and really locked in the front end. I'll replace these weight with the optional TD 15g weight when its available shortly. I'm running no other weight at all.

Rudebits under the lipo

Replaced both battery blocks with the stainless steel ones from Cream Extreme. Gives about 45g extra. It helped level out my jumping.

How heavy is that ?

[mikeyscott]

Circa 80g

Will be after a lighter one of about 60g when I next see tony

I ran 20g under the steering ackerman to try and get some turn in at Worksop.

I also have the 80g one, might cut it into 4 x 20g sections so i can add or take away weight when i need to, saves buying another 1

14-21g inside the front bulkhead. Pockets are perfect fit for lead.

So.

Are most people adding some weight then ?

Anyone tried with and without - i'm running indoors now, slippy floor / carpet / sports hall etc. I think i'll try an under lipo weight, haven't tried it yet as i thought the norm was to not run extra weight in the 210 !

Just down to personal pref isn't it?

Will be trying with and without this weekend. See what the laptimes say as well.

Sure is Mikey

As I'm struggling with my 210 indoors I was just going with what the 'top lads' are saying, basically that you don't need to add weight as the car was designed around lipos etc.

As this isn't working for me I've being in the shed with some brass and a hacksaw. 80g under lipo weight is now added, I'll see how it goes, can't be any worse !!

What tires would you be using, are you using a control tire or foams?
