If you could weight your pack you could add weight to equal the weight of the Reedy 5000 20C = 288grams

or

Just a guess, in your case use
around 65 grams ....

I went to the Tekin website and looked at the Tekin power cell 3400 weight.
7.125oz/204g

You're going to want to bring it up about 85 grams. A 3oz weight plate would be perfect.

Today I used a setup I found on Mo/ks under smac track for my t4 that light weight setup in stock, worked fine. The hubs my understanding is for more side bite. I dont know maybe in mod you need more side bite but in stock on hard packed dirt it ran fine with standard hubs

Hubs are for forward traction.

I am running Orion 3400 lipos i dont add any weight, all i have done was losen up my preload collars, 25wt in front 30wt in rear. tried out a few different piston combos (cant remember what i settled on) But i raced last night and my car was pretty dialed. I havnt tried a real setup off AEs website so dont know how mine would compair, but im going to get the lightweight setup and adjust my t4

I used this setup last night in my B4. I placed three more lead squares in the front pods and one on the battery strap to get 1510 grams.
Until I get my lipo plate that I ordered from chedda bob Fri night . I'm actually 1512 grams and used stock hubs.
This setup works great

The setup sheet referenced .5 degree rear hubs. Does anyone know if these exist? I called AE and they said the may be a part the team is testing...
