The 2 hole with 3mm spacing is equivalent to the plastic hub using he upper middle hole.

Wildcat, when I weighted it I did not have a protector on it but I do have one that I plan on adding. I am currently running the VTS slipper, but I have a Schelle slipper coming, so hopefully that will offset some of the weight of the protector.

lol, seriously? That weight was with the vts? wtf am I 1594?

My protek 130ss is 63.8g
The Savox LP is 44.5g, so about 20g less. That is fine. but we are 90 grams apart and I removed the battery strap and foams, lol. That was 20 grams...You saved 20g with the pucks, so that is 40g difference. where the heck is the other 50g, lol. I even have the lighter tq13 awg wire instead of the heavier 12awg wire. my pack is 212g. yours is what 200g?

I run shorty packs in my two buggies and SC trucks, so I have a good selection to choose from to get the weight that works the best for my setup/track. Most of them weight between 200-210 grams with the Promatch 3500mah being the lightest at around 155 grams and the RevTech being heaviest at 210 grams.


Losi Xceleron, ProMatch 4800 and 3500mah, Turnigy 4.2, RevTech 5000mah, Venom 3800mah.

I am using the promatch 4800's in your pic. I weighted them at 212 on my scale.

tires can weigh up to 30 grams more than other tires... super soft compound is considerably heavier than clay compound

i'd be surprised if the aluminum screw don't drop it close to 40 grams.

hmm, I have some typo clay and SS at home. I will compare later. I knew SS was heavier than Soft, but never really used clay before. The "new" srs might become a clay tire track. Still seems too new to tell. If I could get to 1550-60 without having to change out my electronics or buy pucks, that would be nice

Thanks , my hubs did'nt include the diagram.

Wildcat, I just put my buggy back on the scale and it came in at 1544 grams RTR. the only differences from the original 1509 grams I quoted earlier is I have added the chassis protector, some Velcro to hold the body, the battery foams and I may have picked up a little moisture in the tires when I cleaned them yesterday.

I weighted the foams last night. Something around 10g. Seems like the chassis tape must be around 20g. I will change a couple more things, but I will be over 1580 no mater what. I suppose for 13.5, that will be fine. If I get back into 17.5, I might get the pucks and try for the mid 1500's. Also, I ahve the alum rear camber block. I never bothered to weight it. I put it on for durability, plus it added weight in the rear. I never broke the plastic one, but I was afraid I would

I'm sure this has been asked 100 times in here before but I couldn't find it in my search. In order to run the B5r arms to get more rear traction am I simply using the left arm on the right side and vice versa? Is there anything else I need to do? Is this still a good way to gain rear traction?

I built my MM with the RM arms. Your arms "might" very slightly rub the chassis at full droop. so you can remove a very little amount of material at the contact point. Otherwise, what you said is correct.

Yes reverse um.

Can use plastic or the Hard arms.

Plastic gives the most grip.

Can also try 3/0 rear toe, lighter oil & rear spring
