Weight distribution
 

Can anyone tell me the exact weights supported by the front wheels and the back wheels. I think that proper weight distribution is the key to 'controlled drifting'. A little more weight should be placed in the rear. Weight depending on the motor installed.

unless someone got a gram digital scale, it would be hard. Just by looking at one, i would think the front weighs 7 grams and the back would be 10 grams, overall i think the car weighs 35 grams stock. those are just estimates, so i dont know if there right.

I think you are right because some people including me find it easier to drift with some bodies.

I think the bits are front heavy. This is what causes the car to spin so easily. The lack of weight causes the tail to lose traction.
This and the lack of proportional steering. Because in reality when you start a drift the car doesn't have all the lock in. so it drifts like this \ \ , but with bits, the controler is either full left or right, so the car would want to do this = . ( sorry i dont have pics)

Any hoo, with slightly more weight in the back, the rear tires will have just enough traction for it not to spin out.

So if any one has the ability to get the measurements, please share:D .

NB we still dont want the front & back equal ;)

Buy a Zip Zap SE for a present (for yourself!) They are going to have proportional steering and headlights and tailights! Six channels! 27 a, b, c and 49 a, b, c. They have a pistol grip controller that is interchangable wheel for southpaws! They will be awesome!:) :D :cool: :eek:

I like that idea. That could be my bit drifter :D when are they being released? Will there be any subaru bodies? Can MS fit ZZ chasis?

Hmm, now you guys might start transplanting zip pcbs into bits.
