Here are a few improvements I made over the weekend!
I had some time on my hands, so decided to do some re-arranging of the ABC Hobby Genetic's chassis, since I was working with all my other "M" class chassis.
When compared to the pics above, you can see the Genetic's electronics on the left side have been reversed, and the LiPo is a 2S, rather than the 3S that was mounted before. The reasons for this are: The Motor is now a 17.5T Speed Passion Stock-Spec, which is MUCH more suited to drift, than the 6.5T that was in it. It's also sensored, so it is smooth, too! The Genetic is still rather fast, RPM-wise, so it can still gymkhana, with HPI A-drift tires, so this combo works well.
I also mounted the ESC on a carbon plate from another carbon chassis conversion that was not used in that particular chassis, and it worked well here, since there isn't much in the way of chassis to servo-tape the ESC to, since the left side of the Genetic's chassis is cut out, since the left side was the battery side, in stock Genetic layout.
Lead weight had to be added, because of the weight shift re-arranging the electronics. Not much....maybe just 1/2 oz. but it all went up front, and stabilized the Genetic during swingouts and transitions.
This new layout works better than before, if only slightly, but better, nonetheless!
