Agree on the weight, my PPD is 3oz (whatever an oz is), so I plan on putting a 2.2oz lipo lead in the bitty design tray when it arrives

Cheda bob makes a nice tray for a 416 .. tell him I sent you and he will charge you more . jk it weights almost 4 ounces and fits perfectly in the car . let alone puts the weight where u want it. LOW

Adam?

I shoo goo the individual weights from PPD to the bottom of my packs. It locks them in place so they don't move, gets some weight down low, and they're easy to remove when you're done. Then I servo tape some tungsten plates to the outside top and side edges of the pack, and sometimes a couple on the inside. They're 14g each, so it ads up quick. If you cover them in CF stickers, they look pretty dialed. I'm right at 1500g with weights one the pack only, and nowhere else. Balance is good since the weights are on the far edge of the pack.

This method lets the pack sit flat on the chassis, so you can use the 5000 packs like those from SMC and TP.

The guy that makes the Manutech plates is a fellow racer, and might be encouraged to make some 416 plates if there's a demand. They're brass, but work great if you've got a shorter pack, like an SMC 4000. The new packs have reliefs cut in them to let packs with nubs on the bottom sit flat.

I actually have this in mind but not sure that it really helps...i have a grub screw in the other hole in the rear hub which i thought would prevent the hole that you mount from collapsing and shearing under large impact. This is just a thought which i used to do it for my 2WD buggy and I have been running my current rear hubs for almost a year now and still ok...touchwood!

He made me a deal that I couldn't pass up. Basically he made my mind up for me

A friend of mine got a 416WE, on the very first drive he broke the front plastic drive cup from the stock solid diff without hitting anything. Does tamiya or any other company has an upgrade for this? At the moment he's opted to get a normal diff up front which has aluminium drive cup.

The new SMC C-Max 5200 pack will still be too tall

I'd say he put the eccentric spacers in upside down
