Some specs!

Ok so I haven't blogged in a little while, well not properly at least.
I was bored this morning so I decided to get the scales out on the car. Having just recently fitted the Nosram Comet HD ESC, and a Thunder Power motor, I was wondering what the weights of the car were.

Here are the figures. Taken with pocket scales that are used to weigh gold, diamonds etc, going down to 1 decimal place.

Shell - 87.1
Front - 581.8
Rear - 645.5
Car minus shell - 1227.3

Car inc shell - 1314.4

All weight in grams. Our limit here is 1350g so as you can see it comes in well under.
The equipment used was.
Nosram Comet HD ESC
Sanwa RX
Savox low pro servo
Thunder power motor
3 fans! (1 ESC, 2 motor)
Protoform speed 6 LW shell
Sorex 32r (jb blue insert)

As usual with cars, the rear is heavier than the front, due to motor positioning. But there's plenty of space at the front if the car for the 35g of lead needed so that will bring the front weight up a little to bring the dist closer to 50/50,

Considering that the car has no weight saving items on the car, such as TI screws or turnbuckles, I'm quite impressed how light it is.
