Less rolling resistance also isn't a bad thing with your lack of power.
A very nice chassis overall, I'd personally use some thicker material to improve chassis stiffness a bit. That, or use liberal amounts of glue attaching the battery holders (did you already do that?) to make the battery holders contribute to chassis stiffness.
It should also look a little lower once you get that Evo board in. Good job!  |
Right now I have hard slicks on the front & soft slicks on the rear. I'll try the hard slicks on the back as well.
The battery holders are snugly fitted into the cut-out holes of the chassis & glued WELL. Because they fit so tight, this further increases chassis stability. Also, the material used is remarkably stiff at that thickness.
I'm a little stuck on where to mount the evo board. The obvious placement is on top of the servo like Gen 1 board. I'd like it to be lower. Also, I'd prefer not to stand-it-up next to the servo.
Any ideas?
