@Stum + Othello: We run on 2 tracks. Can indeed be described as 'very technical'. So far the data have all been exported to Excel. I will make a print of one of our next runs. The blackbox gives quite a lot of interesting information. Only minus is the temp sensor. It doesn't work on all the 5 blackboxes we have... Has been reported to MGM.
@Stum: I have had the 8 and 8-t version of the Tekno V3 version conversion since approx half july and sold them both 3 weeks ago. My friends (2 also had a V3 8ight) and I also mounted the ESC near the motormount. We mounted a selfmade esc-plate using the screwholes on top of the v3 motormount as you did. For right/left getting in balance I used a 4400 6s lipo. Will be abouth the same weight as your 5s 5000. I have enjoyed them very much, nice clean setups and good quality. I also drive the nitro versions and by that can compare the handling on the track quite good between the V3 - nitro and BCP. The V3 has a completely different handling caracteristic compared with the nitro's. By that it is as close to a 8ight than the MP777's I ran till last winter. Both good buggies but I prefer the 8ight.... The BCP is very close to the original. Caracteristics of the brushless motor makes the real difference.
Weight is more to the center diff than to the rear. The center diff is not in the middle of the chassis but more to the front. The front of the saddlepack starts at the mount of the centerdiff. Is no issue. Also other capacities will not influence the left/right bias. I will make other pictures that might make this more visuable.
The receiver is mounted in plastic box (waterproof) under the servo tray. Can partly been seen in one of the pictures.
@Tom255. I will have to put it on the weightscale. I haven't weighted so far. It 'feels' the same as my nitro. I always have looked to the weight as an important factor in a setup. I learned from Vittorio that the first thing to look at is the weightdistribution. That makes 95%, the extra weight you can get of makes the other 5% and can make a difference on pro driver level. Since the 'maestro' told me this and because I am not a pro driver I do not look to the weight anymore and concentrate on other things. Tyre choice, shocks have the most influence next to some variations in the diffoil depending on the track (high speed or technical) with the basic that comes with the racerollers and kits.
