7 ounces in front, 3 ounces in back. Could use a couple more in front to solidify the front end. | ||

Is that some kind of stop motion effect you have in your editing program? It made for a wicked video.  Your camera angles are killer as always and if you don't mind me asking... What camera? How big is that file? |

| That's nice of you. Especially considering it's nothing more than a Canon A95 point and shoot 5 megapixel camera with a million pictures behind it. Water dunked, driven over, dropped a hundred times work horse this thing is. It's having some problems though. Maybe you saw some purple flashes? Camera goes all purple on me sometimes. The angles are alright, sometimes they're simply the one place that the camera can stay up right on with a little rock wedge to get the truck in the picture. I should get a little tripod. At the bottom of Vimeo it says, Download Quicktime version 640x480, 67.08MB  |

another good video and that spot/climb looks awesome...looks like you are running into the same "problem" that im having with my comp claws.....too much rear bite....there is one steep climb with lots of bite that is really hard to climb with the comp claws but is relativly easy with the original claws...

I did keep burning rubber in back to get more bite, about every ten runs up the rock it'd lose traction and just spin. I'm okay with the rear bite, it's that I need more front weight to keep the front down just a bit more. Maybe an ounce or two in each front wheel. Quote:
Eh, I've done it for years without one... | |||

Cool video, looks like you found the right line at the end there. How many times can a Losi fall???? I do think I would have to try and make some kind of adjustment though, before I beat my Losi that much.

There's way more missing footage than what you got to see. And it fell more times than I care to admit.  Three 1100 mah lipos worth of run time (maybe 20 minutes each) making it over the top only four times. Yeah, about an hour of that. | |

Actually we did that with an iPhone, they got an app for that. An iPhone is pretty short so we got a bunch of different numbers depending where it was laid against the rock. It starts at I think 65 degrees, then the bump up and your sitting right near 70, then it goes up steeper to like 82 or something stupid degrees, then the front crests the top. Something like that, it's been a while. |
