Hmmm, all I need is 4 digital scales now...
... I have one legal for trade 10lb unit, which I just weight the components and place them on the chassis and hold the truck in the center of the skidplates and see if it holds level. I do it by eye as well. There has got to be more to weight distribution than just static balance me thinks... a sort of 'dynamic' balance, where even though it is balanced for weight, components might be all wonky all over the place that it causes certain 'inertial' effects when in action, thus not being 'truly' balanced.
Neil, true, that might be a valid point... it might be unbearable going from a fast spooling 1512 to a high inertia outrunner. Although, I don't think it would affect it in the straight, I would think more in the tight technical parts where you need quick power to the wheels for mere milliseconds.
Sike! Calling Sike on this one!
If I could get an outrunner to work well in the Revo for racing, and lowering the batteries... I am pretty sure I could beat all the truggy drivers except two at our track.
