I use balance buttons, but the extra 60g in the triangular bits is too close to the centre line to balance it all properly.
The black 'L' shaped bits are actually alu so they weigh about 7g together!
The advantage is that the two centre parts can both fit in two positions each, so weight can be put forward or backward in the chassis as desired.

I have my car set at 5mm front and 3mm rear, our track varies low-medium traction.

My question, do you still need the lipo plates under the topdeck to run the XRay weights with a tall lipo like the TP5000 40C? Or can I take out the plates? Not sure if I want to go the XRay lipo weight set, as my car is pretty awesomely balanced as is.

I always run mine at 6mm front and 5mm rear when running rubber tire.

so 6mm-F 5mm-R ? That sounds a little more like it... wouldn't 3mm-R be a but too much roll in the rear?

It might make the rear over-rotate in the corner off-power. I pretty much use 6F/5R everywhere I go with rubber tire. Asphalt or carpet. If I do any changes to droop, it would only really be about 1mm +/-. But that's about it. I look to other areas for setup changes. Like shock angle or a spring change. Maybe a camber link change.

There is about 0.5mm between the top deck and the lipo when lipo is right up against the inner weights.
If the Lipo packs didn't have a rounded edge they wouldn't fit!

They are related, but measued indipendantly. Downstops measures the MM difference between the chassis, and the lowest part of the lower control arm. Droop, is how far the chassis rises before the wheels lift off the ground. Ride height affects droop, but not your downstops.
For example, lets say you set your downstops to 5mm all around, but you run a REALLY high ride height. You might only have 1 mm of droop (1mm before the tires lift). In that case, you could have downstops set to 5mm, but 1mm of droop.

So with that said... to translate my term droop to your term downstop.... I use 6F/5R downstop.
