I got bored tonight so I figured this all out;
My revo weighs 7.5 lbs exactaly with komodo dragon LP's and sportmaxx rims (1/4 per wheel!)
55% of the total weight is in the rear of the truck
45% of the total weight is in the front of the truck.
50% of the total weight is on the left,
and 50% of the total weight is on the right.
FL corner is 1.8125lbs-24% of the truck's total weight
FR corner is 1.5625lbs-21% of the truck's total weight
RL corner is 1.9375lbs-26% of the truck's total weight
RR corner is 2.1875lbs-29% of the truck's total weight
How can I get the RR corner a little lighter? Nothing to move, really. And this weigh in was with a half a tank of gas. Single servo, tekno rc servo mount, cut down receiver box, shaved bumpers, red pushrods.
Hope this helps some people ( don't know how it would though)
How I got this info;
Get a scale, and 3 other objects the same height. Place one wheel on the scale, and other 3 on the objects(mine were cans of pop).
Record what weight that corner was.
Repeat until all 4 corners are weighed.
Add all up to figure total weight.
Divide each corner by the total weight to figure out what % of the weight that corner was. It'll come out as a decimal, but as you SHOULD know, to turn a dec. into a %, you move the decimal 2 places to the right.
Add up the front corners and divide by the total to find front weight %,
or
add up the rear corners and divide by the total to find the rear total weight %.
Add up either side and divide by the total to find out what % of the total weight that side is, and vica versa(sp?)...
Yeah, LMK if this helps any of you.
