Wheel weights arrived yesterday. I put 120g on each front wheel and 60g on each rear, I then re-holed the body shell and lowered it an inch. There's room to spare for another lower set of holes if need be. I found taking the wheels apart to be bloody tiresome! I attempted to "star cut" the foams as well which quickly turned into scissor cuts in a clockface pattern. I've not yet had chance to give it a good run & test yet, mainly climbing over mountains of cushions and kids toys. It still has a tendency to roll over though so I think somehow lowering the battery is my next priority. Like I have said, I'm loath to make the jump to LiPo just yet so will stick with NiMh. Any ideas on how to lower the battery in that situation would be greatly appreciated.
I'm also debating on the shock mod with fuel pipe thing. Is it really essential? I'd like to know the ins and outs of the build completely eventually but a bit hesitant at the moment of stripping the diff etc in case I bugger it up. The drilling a hole and injecting grease idea seems good -I'd prefer to become confident in doing it "properly" though. When I eventually get round to stripping it I will take phots and post a step by step guide, as I cant find one anywhere online and I could well do with one, hopefully will help someone else at some time.
