Well, what should I do?
I couldnīt use a dsm2 reciever since I use 27mhz.
I use the Genius 90 genII since itīs the fastest speedo out here.
I said before, the 1400g are not the problem, but the 1350g are.
To achieve a weight of 1350g I have to use the aluminium ballstruds, aluminium tie rods, the new wishbones and a light weight body...
But why do have the tamiya driver for example have to add weight to achieve the 1400g or 1350g? Where is the difference?
To clear things up: Iam very pleased with the top photon and am very competetive with it. I made my first a-final in german national championschip with it and won so many other races since may last year...

Looking good. Safe to assume that the geometry on the bell crank assembly is the same?

The spool in your pic looks pretty stock to me. The camber plates look nice.

What am I doing wrong here? I stripped two spur in one practice night. Somebody told me to change to 48 pitch because that's what he did on his photon. Don't want to change pitch since I've got alot of 64's. Advice please.

besides proper mesh, make sure that the leg that supports the bulkhead next to the motor is tight, if not you get a weird flex that will strip your spur quickly.

Top should have done this to the camber plates long time ago. Its really a PITA to change height/position on the camber plates with the current carbon ones.

Really looking forward to better looking spools, steering crank and looks like TOP heard us.

But the carbon plates are so pretty!.

And that new steering crank is super sweet, looks like it would not flex at all like the stock one, which I am not sure is good or bad, I imagine bad but new no flex very good, and also look pretty. LOL

Hi guys,

I was looking at this Dynamic Balance Station from 3 racing,http://os.3racing.hk/products.php?products_key=4785.

Besides buying something like this or using 4 mini scales, what methods are you using to balance your vehicle?
