xxx / zx5 hybrid.
Currently using a botched zx5 shell + undertray. Looks ugly and might try and make something better if it handles. Too much weight on the front end a the moment, but need to add approx 160g of lead which ought to help i that respect. Thinking of going to losi shocks all round too as can't run a low ride height at the front with the losi springs I have.

Shell doesnt cover the pt at the moment.
Front wing would if installed. 2 reasons for the location 1) it's the first part of the car to cross the line in the finals. And I really need all the competetive advntage I can get with my driving. 2)With 160g of lead added to a chassis that narrow, there is not a lot of space anwhere else!

Well 1st run at West Bridgeford yesterday.
And the conclusion is that that the car requires a little development, not to mention a big improvement from the driver. Basically the car understeers, but has poor drive out of corners, and kills rear tyres. My minipins might be ok for a 2nd meeting if I'm lucky. The diff is rubbish and needs a better thrust race to stop it coming undone. The deans connectors I was using don't give a very good contact if you plug them in all the way, and this was causing the car to cut out occasionally. - Need to change the connectors. My cheap low profile servo off of ebay, is unsurprisingly, nowhere near as good s my full size ko bought for 10 x the price and did not help steering response. Superglue doesn't stick to lead very well, so my lead weights kept falling off. - Need to find better method of attachment. The car would have benefited from softer springs all round to increase weight transfer, but i didn't have any suitable front springs. Should have used wider rims fo the front tyres too as the slim rims gave too rounded a profile. On the plus side the car is very stable, very easy to drive on the wood section of the track and I have a few ideas to get some steering back and increase weight on the rear. - Steering response should be less of an issue anyway on a larger outdoor track.
