I put the rear on the scales, front end on a block. I then reset everything back to level ride height and tried Pops method for adjusting tweak. (And yes, I did have side to side shock mount locations the same). I thought I'd share what I found and what solved the problem.įirst I pulled shocks to remeasure and check for free arms. I measured all shocks and fronts are equal, rears are equal. Now I’m guessing that I’m missing something here, just not sure what. Shock collars left to right were probably 2-3 turns different. LF was 2.5 mm higher than RF and LR was 2 mm higher than RR! You could easily see that the right side was sitting lower than left side. I then put it on the tweak station for curiosity sake and tweak was perfect. (Obviously every time I adjusted 1 end, it affected the other when I rechecked that end. If I set got the fronts equal, the best I could get in rear was about. I could not get it spot on but got close. I then began to adjust collars to get side to side weights the same. Also, my first Losi had the same issue with level ride heights showing a severe tweak on the MIP station. I doubt it though as this car is 1 week old (XXXS+). ![]() This indicates to me that maybe the chassis is warped. LF: 9.7 oz RF: 13.9 oz LR: 14.1 oz RR: 11.1 ozĪs you can see, the RF and LR appear very heavy. Using 2 scales and a level block the same height as the scales. Visually, the front shock collars were equal height, same with the rear. I set ride height at 4.5 all the way around. Ok this is what I found when I weighed the car. The chassis is slightly conductive and arces on the battery bars. This prevents glitching and also moves the battery slightly inward if you use a foam spacer to hold it there. I took and relieved the Losi chassis slightly so that the battery bars did not touch the center tunnel. If the car is not up to minimum weight you can add ballast or steel screws to the light side of the car in the place of Aluminum screws. With stock metal hydrides this is not neccesary. Also mount the electronics on the Losi on the outboard edge. On a Losi XXXS You can compensate for this extra weight by mounting the transponer on the Losi like on a TC3. GP3300's are about 1 ounce heavier than ultra metals or stock metal hydrides. If the side to side weight balance is off on a Losi. You get better at doing the adjustments after some practice. If one side of the chassis is low when it comes off the tweak station, then adjust both collars on that side down to get the ride height correct.
