wow...i can't believe peopel actually obey weight limits I guess im the only cheater i think when i was runnign 6 cell WCE i clocked in at about 1215grams!

Anyways the WCE chassis is the same as the Hara/Surikarn/Black chassis. But is only slightly diffrent than the new TC chassis. There is no advantage of 1 chassis to another.

I had my car at 1450, that was with low profile servo, micro spektrum receiver and RS/R1 esc. I had aluminium universals in the rear, but HD steel unis up front.

Also no heat sink/fan on the motor.

1450g, thats an unusual weight......you live in the UK right? The minimum weight is usually 1425g......I've only been able to get below this with the TC kit though.....

Front Spool : if more rear droop , will off power push head !
if your rear spring is silver, you can decreasing front droop ,
can more on power turn .

More rear droop will help. You can also lay the front shocks down some which will make it softer in the front.
