Any problems after extending/shortening chassis

Quote

Post by spider » Mon Feb 10, 2014 2:17 pm

I was thinking on extending or shortening my chassis and before I did, I wanted to hear if anyone noticed any changes in the handling. Im only looking to extend/shorten by an inch but we all know that could possibly throw alot off.
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

What do you plan to do with it?

it will definitely change the characteristics of the chassis. longer tends to give you a slower chassis response, while shorter makes it more twitchy. overall, the biggest effect could be weight bias, which might require you to change battery location, depending on which direction you go.

On my Castle Sidewinder SCT and 3800kv motor sensorless setup, I had shortened the wires for a cleaner install.

It wasn't until *after* (of course) that I learned Castle tells you NOT to shorten the wires.

So my problem is this: I have a Castle...

I think I can shed some light based on some of the motors I have seen. Some of the motors use the direct motor windings out of the end of the can, and so would be solid wire that is varnished. They often wind them together, heat up to burn off the...

Quickie simple servo wiring question. I need to extend 3 Rx channels some distance, and space savings and number of wires is critical, so I am assuming I can group together + and - wires, and leave signal wires to do their thing? I am assuming the...

Hey guys and gals. I'm new on the site and would like to say it has become an addiction. Much to my wifes dismay .:D I have an RC10 CE that has ran great for years. I've managed to destroy a few lexan bodies with it. Here's the problem. Just dug it...

Here's a pick of the body so far. I had to create one like this. Just love the original boxart.

Am I the only one that has log in problems on this site? Normally I get booted after 30 minutes or so. OK, I can deal with that. No biggie. But today, every time I go to reply, I have to retype my name and password. Then I have to hit the back...

Well, that did not work so I opened (gulp) IE. Explorer did the same thing. I am going to chalk this up to either a server issue here at the college or it could have something to do with the group policies from Novell. Tomorrow, I will delete the...

Has anyone else had problems like this with Amazon? I figured since a relative has prime I'd order some stuff. Got some 2s Lipos, and an RPM toe gauge, and then this happens. Needless to say I'm a little P'ed off.

I think this is the last time...

Another thing to increase the likelihood of getting a package is to not put Awesome stuff inside on the box. If you put from a radio control brand or hobby shop on the box as sender the package is more likely to go missing then if just a name was on...

Thanks for the tips.

Anyone know if there are marks (sharpie) on wheels parts etc being dyed, will it cover it up, or will the marks show through the dye?

Longer time in the dye = darker color?
