CG question

[Andrew the RC man]

is it better to have a lower or higher center of gravity??????

[TC3Racer]

it is better to have a lower center of gravity. a high center of gravity makes most of the car/trucks weight higher and in result can tip in the corners. a low center of gravity has mostly all the weight at the lowest part of the car, in result helping you turn faster and not tipping. with a low center of gravity, it is very rare that you flip, and if u do flip it is probably due to a traction roll or someonee hitting you.

Chassis with higher centers of gravity, and lower roll centers generate more traction.

You want your cars to be the opposite of your girlfriend in this regard ;)
