put a 40g weight as far back as you possibly can, you added what you needed and you added it where you wanted it. ezpz Love your videos on the RDS man!! youre the only reason i havnt gotten rid of mine because i couldnt stand how it drive from day one!
Troy, I think Super G updated their weight to 1350g to be in line with RCDC 2023 rules. Could be wrong but Yokomo has some of the All Japan Drift rule changes on their channel too, most of which are implemented by Super G.
My favourite topic! Move back to 540 size motor and larger battery pack should allow you to increase the overall weight without adding items on to it 👍🏻
You are right! More - I want to find ways to keep removing weight from the front as well. Increase total rear balance. I am looking now as well to improve slow-speed traction.
@@RoadsideRC By slow speed traction I assume you mean corner exit speed. That is the hardest spot to see gain. Some tuning to mess with for exit speed is FDR, Rear roll center and how that relates to static camber and camber change when the car rolls/squats, Anti-squat geometry ( can be achieved with shimming up the front rear toe block, moving the rear arms forward in the toe block, messing with driveshaft angle)
Get some sticky wheel weights to add a little weight and put it behind the rear axle. My RMX 2.0 is 67% rear bias static. I’ve got a lot of weight transfer in my car due to my setup. Under throttle I’ll bet I’m right around 75% rear bias.
Mine is 32F 68R and 1500 grams but i prefer the heavier car i like the feel and how my wieght transfers. I beleive its all about how u tune your car not so much how much the car weight is
It is worth pointing out that over this WIDE weight range...the total difference was only a few tenths of a second....which is not a lot. Now driver vs driver. Total tune vs total tune. Those will make a HUGE difference.
What I’m really curious about, if anyone has ever balanced their cars from left to right. I’ve never seen anyone talk about that. Once you have the front to back ratio, balancing both sides would make the car a little heavier, yes, but you should have a more balanced overall driving experience.
I have messed with it a little bit. Never added weight, but focused on shifting what was there instead. Adding weight never improves performance vs removing.
@@RoadsideRC I figured that after watching your Video, but once you have shifted what can be shifted and reduced what could be reduced and still have it unbalanced, the only option would be to add weight on the lighter side. I almost have all my stuff together and I'm platting on balancing the car in such way that its not more than 2g difference between each side. I'll let you know when I've come that far. Actually thinking about creating a Channel to showcase my ideas and attempts... no yet sure though... ^^
@autofctrl Depending on the chassis, I have been able to move the battery from one side to another a little. Also, a little extra pre-load on a side will push the balance to the other side as well. My base assumption with this stuff: if it drives good - then it is good.
Love the channel. Just ordered my first drift car, a D5MR. Figuring out what to equip it with and your channel is a great source for that!
Awesome choice for chassis - and glad I could help. Let me knownif you have any specific questions.

Ah! I hadn't caught that. Thanks - I'll check it out.
Minimum weight is still 1300g per the 2024 SDC rule book

No more magnets, switch to bodyposts 🤪
@@billylim127 :) You are not wrong...
BLINDED BY SCIENCE!!! Love these types of videos
Thank you!
so the weight affects the performance then interesting
*🥸its a full view😎Au🦘A big like👍☑*

Interesting!
I'm going to try hard to avoid adding weight - but seems like I am going to have to in order to make the minimum weights for comp!
Thanks for this video, I really needed it
Glad it was helpful!
very nice topic bro
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
My SDC car is 1355 grams with a 31 F / 69 R weight bias
That sounds just about perfect to me!
