Fuel Cells, how do they affect balance Options

[woobn8r]

I have been contemplating a fuel cell mounted low in the front compartment...

While this may yeild a lower cg, it is also in front of the front wheel midline and will affect the overall balance.

Has anybody done a before and after on corner weights?

I'm sure I can deal with a set up for this new layout...but should I be fixing somthing that aint broke.

If you do have a fuel cell, how big did you go, and how did you mount it?

Pictures would be nice if you have 'em...


Cheers,

Sean

Sean,
Talk about the use for your car ie pure track, street, combo, etc. And specifically - what kind of track event. If track only racing - what do the rules say for fuel? Also what engine do you have? All have a big bearing on the answer.

The car is a JFF weekend warrior....3.2l/915 and set up as a track car...don't worry about the rules...22mm tb front /180lb springs rear, Koni adj x4, needle bearing suspension, monoballs, flares, 7&8s w/ R compound boots, etc...your basic skateboard on steroids.

I'm not really concerned with overall weight...just the placement and balance of that weight. I understand that competitive AutoX mght require a different set up than I'm planning...but I will just be drivin' fer giggles....

Thanks,

Sean
