more weight redux. Removed 2 batt supports and material under the servo. The car is still nearly 2oz overweight at my track. It weighs 3lbs 3.98 oz. the min weight is 3lbs 2oz.

BTW, yesterday I took a dremel and cutout some of the material along the outer side of the battery tray on a spare chassis I have. I doubt it cuts more than 1/4 of an ounce. I just did it because I was bored. I'll probably never even use this chassis. See attached.

When running the new black belt, what other items do you need to make it "Fit right". I switched from a yellow belt and it seems really long still?
Do I need each of these to run the new belt?
LOSA3282 Machined HD Idler Pulley (XXX-S) $__ 4.50
LOSA3283 HD Tension Arm & Hardware (XXX-S/4)_ $__ 6.00
LOSA6290 5mm X 8mm Flanged Ball Bearings (2)_ $__ 6.50
Thanks,

Losi sells all those components together for around 20 bux. It' Losi part # losa3280 H.D. (long) Drive belt kit.
Here's a link to Losi's site, which shows you everything you need. BTW, Losi sells the full kit with everything you need for $20. Might be cheaper to buy that. And you would still have a spare belt if you ever needed it.

if you wanna run 64p gears get the 128t kevlar gear. That will give you the most precise gearing options
Battery Insulation Tape
How many of you use the battery insulation tape on your xxx-s? In your opinion, is it very important? My LHS doesn't have any and I can't find it listed on Horizon or Losi's website. Stormer is out of it as well. I know I could just use electrical tape, but I'm wondering if it even matters enough to bother.
