PDF File

This setup had a neutral feel with a slight push. Things i want to try on setup are rear sway bar, changing front inboard camber washers, set front belt back to standard tension, try a one way pulley, put some holes in body for better cooling on the electrics, trim wing to standard line & maybe just some other fine tuning. I think that's all for now.

Slipper was set to have minimal slip
When mounting the battery, after gluing the tabs that slot into the chassis i then trimmed some thin lexan & glued that on the side of the tabs to stop the batter from having any play. I made it so it was a snug fit but not tight as that could after time tweak a chassis.
Both side vents were cut out on the body.
