overweight balance issues
so I've got my car balanced, but it's balanced at 1488g; I'm about 70g past the min weight so what can I do-I had to add about 140g to balance my car on the lipo side using the associated lipo tray
a photo of your car will help or a list of everything you got.
If you can move your electronics closer to the middle.
That is why I don't like the lipo braces that don't allow you to move your lipo as you please. I tape my lipo to the stock tc5 brace and move it around till my car was balanced. I was able to balance my car to about 1380 if I remember right.

originally, I was not using the lipo brace and car was balanced at around 1350, which is way below min. the problem was that I don't have battery brace; i just strapped the battery down with tape while using double sided tape on the bottom to keep it from moving laterally. I don't want to use double sided tape anymore. I don't have a pic but i;m using tekin rs with airtronics 94357 servo, amb and stock airtronics fm receiver

I added droop to the rear (lower number on the droop gauge) and that kept the rear tires in better contact.
The downside is that you might induce a push where you don't want it. Like most cars, the TC5 is happier with a little positive throttle than off-power. If I'm having a problem losing it in mid-corner on a sweeper, I try a little lift going in to let the back free up, the get back into the throttle pretty immediately. The car will take a set and drift neatly through the corner.
do yo have guys have problems with rocks eating the belts and diff?

No. I run in extremely dusty/dirty conditions and have been running the same pulleys and belts for 7 months now. Just run the belts a bit loose and they'll last ok. The belts will ride over any stones that get caught in the pulley teeth and you can just take them out after driving.
My biggest problems are dust/small stones in the CVD joints and stones jamming rims.
The ball diffs don't like being run in dusty conditions very much and will need rebuilding a lot quicker. Try not to let too much grease escape the ball runs, wipe off any excess to avoid it attracting dust.

No, and I run on large out door tracks. At one track there is grass, but I get a black rubbery gunge in my pulleys. Which I think is from 1/5th scale tourers and trucks, or it might be foam from 1/10th and 1/8th Nitro's. Don't know really, I just regularly check my pulley's and clean them as needed.
