So I think I found the trick to these shocks. I don't bleed them. I kept getting air bubbles to I over pack them with oil then let out the screw and it lets out a bout 3 drips of oil and it had the perfect amount 0 air and 1/8 and inch rebound

I have noticed the same thing. I dont like the kit directions for the bleeding. Took me a few tries with different methods to get it dialed. I pretty much use that same bleeding process that you mentioned. Im suprised nobody else has mentioned this. I also use a tamiya pump to eliminate air.

Why would I need to change the spur or buy anything different? The pad drops into the same spot as the cage did just using one less pad and cage right?

the spurs are the same. So your wanting to remove one of the pads from the vts to convert it from a 3 pad to a 2 pad? That would yield a minimal weight change and I am unsure if it would work. I have never tried that. I either ran the vts 3pad, 2 pad system or the triad.

I have an issue with that. Lots of batteries are different weights, thus you're not comparing the weight of the actual car itself which is what we are doing.

Some are running shorty packs, some are running pan car batts (lighter than shorty packs, mine is 150g) or a new SQ Brick pack...

Because of the different weights in battery packs it's best to weigh the car alone minus the battery.

well, if your going to go that route, you should remove the tires and rims also. Some of my tires weight greatly more than others. M4 holeshots weight more than a green barcode.

Electronics and body as well. That why you should compare the car you put on the track. That's what the rule looks at and really the only number that matters.

+1 the tekin gen2 I had was 40grams lighter than an orion and 20grams lighter than a viper. A LP servo is also about 20 grams less than a full servo. This is why we all just do race weight. All that maters if the roar min of 1499. And of the weight bias. Removing too much weight from one end of the car, could seriously effect traction.

cherry, how are you orienting the battery? side to side? if so, in the front of the tray or rear? Or are you running it from front to back down the center of the tray?

What's annoying is when no one brings it up in over 30 posts and you bring it back up again
