Preface, I do not know a damn thing about corner weighting a car. But how is it possible for the weights to be as you've got them listed here? I don't see how the heaviest weights could be at opposing corners. The example I have in my head is:
let's say we've got this perfectly balanced car:
FL: 500 FR: 500
RL: 500 RR: 500
It's awesome, trust me. Has a million HP too.
So you could find it's CG, which I guess would be dead center of the wheelbase. Right? Now I put an extra 50lb battery on the front right corner, moving the CG a bit in that direction, and it'd come out to something maybe like this, right?
FL: 512 FR: 525
RL: 505 RR: 508
Now what could I do to it to get the weight like Maeng's car? I would think if I put another 50 pounds over the left rear, I might get something like this, wouldn't I?:
FL: 525 FR: 525
RL: 525 RR: 525
Or would it be like yours now?:
FL: 515 FR: 535
RL: 535 RR: 515
I think it'd look like the 525 at all corners example since putting that battery back there would move the CG right back to where it was, and the load would be evenly distributed, right? This is just one example, but I can't think of any way that the load could be so oddly distributed. Moving spring adjusters, moving weight, letting air out of tires, I just can't understand. Help me out.
