The lap record for the 3500 class stands at 6.7 seconds. "I want more..." You might consider adding a 2mm spacer behind the batteries to move them further forward, or using the battery retainer band to pull the battery forward. The car is designed for this modification. This adjustment will shift some weight to the front of the vehicle. Additionally, try placing a 1/2 oz weight on the front bumper to see if it improves front traction. Please be sure to let us know how the results work out. 😀
If you take a screen shot of my car you will see that there are two black foams in the battery tray positioned close to the motor side. These foams are 5mm thick to push the weight of the battery towards the front. ;) Somehow with the kit cars, whenever I put weight in the front, it makes the car push. But with the MR03 (Kysoho cars), when I add weight in the front, I get more steering. Maybe it has something to do with the ride height (Kyosho is higher). Not sure, but I won't be able to test this anymore since I've moved on to the dual arm (DWS) frontend already. Thanks for the feedback John!
I should put an update on here that I tried adding weight on the Reflex Racing bumper. I added 1.5g and it did gave me more initial and mid corner steering. This was on the DWS frontend, red BZ5 springs, aluminum BZ5 shocks with GL5500 motor.
The rear of this car is planted from its design. Second the weight in the rear is more than other cars because this car has chassis plate that runs all the way to the rear + motor pod. Third is this Single Arm frontend. The suspension is stiff unlike the dual arm (DWS) which I currently have. That setup has the steering I was looking for. I’ll have the videos about that in a couple of days.
I’m running the aluminum chassis. V2 front axles. -1 front wheels with the shims. Lexan roof on Jomu body. It’s super nimble and swift. I thought I was under 160g so i added 3g of weights. I took those off and it’s even faster
Thanks for sharing. Is that with 3500KV motor? I will have to try the aluminum chassis but not anytime soon. The feel of the car's weight with the brass chassis is really nice. Something different from what I'm used to.

Do you think that chassis design is allowing it to flex too much, thus that's why you have the push?

-1 front offset with V2 axle will be ok
Yes it fits but I prefer the PN F1 wheels in 19mm's. Thanks.

@tjaymacRC I'm using 2500. It's s smaller track where I am so that's what's popular
@@tonythehitman1 Ok, yeah that makes sense.
@@tjaymacRC also forgot to add. Using small side wings
I see you run a sensored motor on a sensorless esc. Does it run smooth?
Yes. I'm running the GL-SD-ESC-010T. Some ESC cogs without the sensor wire installed, not the one I have.
Good to know! Thank you
