Now THIS is knuckle weight

[cspyy]

Decided to try the "no wheel weight, all axle weight" thing. But there was no way I was gonna be able to get the same weight bias with only knuckle weight vs. what I had with a little knuckle plus wheel weight.
So I thought about it and come up with this.
Everybody should already know how dense lead it's compared to steel or brass. It's also pretty easy to work with.

So that was quite a bit more than I really needed!
Which was good news for me and my plan, so I cut em in half.

Now i've got plenty weight (a bit more than I had with the old setup) and it's all below axle centerline. :cool:

[Szczerba]

very nice, I've always wanted to try that! I have tons of the old lead wheel weights laying around.

Very nice...I'd like to see more of that buggy sitting in the background...

You can achieve the same result with tungsten. Check my build thread if you want see mine.

Nice work, Do your front wheels still turn?

[cspyy]

no i set it up for full time rear burn without having to use one of my channels on the 4pl so i now can run an automatic ass wiper with that channel.

I'm in. thanks for the chance. Daddy needs me a new automatic ass wiper

[Stormin2u]

Very nice.

Great minds think alike...all the way down to the star pattern. Check out post #148 on my build thread. Keep up the cool work.

nice work!
does having the weights below the axle get rid of the "push/ understeer" in off camber situations
regularly asociated with knuckle weights?

Umm, I dunno. And I don't know how a knuckle weight would make it push over wheel weights.

Gold is even more dense than lead, isn't it? I butchered one of my gold bricks and the rig handles better than ever!

Pictures or it didn't happen.

At least it is poisonous like lead. I wouldn't want to be in same room as this. Lol

Now just so we're all on the same age, lead paint chips are perfectly safe.

Nice work Cody.
Are those MThead bead lock rings? Those look kick ass. See you Saturday at the competition.

[cspyy]

Yeah they are.
Thinking I don't like these khaos tires now, Prolly gonna do some kinda tire swap

[ittybitty]

What is it about the Khaos you don't like?

[cspyy]

Traction?
