Thanks, i'll look into it.

On that note...
Who would be interesed in a chassis conversion kit to better balance this chassis f/r? It is an idea being looked at to eliminate the spread of weight from one end of the chassis to the other and focus it in the middle. In theroy you will have more rotation speed (faster steering) with the same setup and electronics positioned better (not right up front with long wires running to the motor). Anyway its a work in progress at the moment.
About the weight thing, i think most guys who run tp lipos are still underweight, and a metal plate adds around 100-150 grams (depending on which one you have) in order to make ROAR min. weight for rubber tire (1500 i think?)
About the conversion kit, sounds promising, but it kind of reminds me of the hpi pro 3 as far as layout ballast goes. Moving the motor a touch more forward would be an interesting change. I guess only experimenting and time will tell! Would it have the same effect as say... moving the arms backward, but to a greater extent?
