Weighting thoughts?

[Reedy26]

We are finishing up our scout car & I have some concerns about COG. Mostly because we run on older wooden tracks that seem on the rougher side.

Pics above show wheel weight & weight placement. If it’s hard to read, weight is:
DFW 17.29g
DRW 73.09g
NDRW 65.0g
COG .675” in front of rear axle

Extended wheelbase, 3 wheel rail rider

Any thoughts, suggestions or comments are welcome.

Yes.

Should be fine. Be sure to cover the bottom of the car with foil hvac tape so as to cover up the pockets and help hold the weight in place.

For this year's Pack race we had 18g on the front wheel and the track was as smooth as a mountain gravel road, I suspect you'll be fine!

How much steer do you have?
