RC8BE Tekno V4 chassis

On the tekno v4 kit do you need to run the center diff spacer plate?

My V4 came in today and looks really good!
Probably start putting it together this weekend, still waiting for tires and body, I'm rebuilding the hole car with brand new diffs I've had for over a year now. The rc8 drivetrain is rock solid, I'm running 5s 35c batteries on Rx8 1900kv T8 motor for over a year and it's been bullet proof!

this is the pic i meant to upload. Im going to run with motor brakes only. The Tekin RX8 is a little to big for the layout. most will probably run a MMP but I think its to small for good run time and taller gearing. Im running Hyperion 5s 3300 35c batteries.

So this is where im at quick glance
V3 Front Left= 852g vs. V4=862g
V3 Front Right=886g vs. V4=897g
V3 Rear Left=968.4g vs.V4=892g
V3 Rear Right=999g vs. V4=975g
I will be working at making the balance better, I just needed to see where I'm at now. Looks like the front is heavier than it was and should provide more steering for sure. also note it is really easy to change the weight by moving the scales just a tiny bit, so its hard to be really accurate using this method. over all i think its better right away. I still need to drive it! the numbers may be better with a 4s hardcase lipo, the batterys I run are lighter and more powerful. Hmmm....

Lol, it now weighs 7.999pounds, was 8.169 with servo brakes and the old wheels. I heard the proline V2 wheels are 20g heavier. The new tires are probably heavier too. I have all the Lunsford titanium pins and turn buckles, aluminum stub axels, all aluminum 3mm nuts, maybe getting to light!
