Every car I ever built and weighted equal rears was at least .01 slower. Never going to do that again.

That sounds like Pinewood Derby Car Whisperer stuff.![]()
davet said:My plan is to try 12 cubes behind the axle then attach some kind of weight on the axle line. It may be wheel weights or plates. The remainder of weight will be ahead of the axle of course. With the additional weight on the axle line does it mean I have to put more weight further forward to keep the COM from being too aggressive? Is it better to do it this way or to just run the 12 cubes behind and 10-12 in front? If the COM is equal both ways what is the advantage to having added weight at the axle line such as with wheel weights?
