ooooh cheaper. :sneaky:

Edit: I hope everyone is aware i've only been harassing about this chassis more for fun than opinion.

Cheaper still:lol:

Gasp! I was giving them a cookie in form of "It's an AE product" ?

:lol::lol:

I hate these weights...#1 they are not real lead & #2 they are bigger in size than the tower lead weights so you have less space to use them.

I can't believe I have a preference in lead weights! :sneaky:

ThunderbirdJunkie prefers his weight to be added in the form of a battery.

Hey, that's a neat idea. How about two big 1s packs wired in series (yes, that's what saddles are more or less anyway) instead of your typical saddles?

That's more than normal weight, still more capacity, usually a high C rating...

Or even more, how about two normal 2S stick packs wired in parallel? :D

/Losi :flaming:

And T-dawg, You're crazy. :p

like this :-)
AE should have made this standard, with a cut in for the receiver box also on the left. for the other battery strap just had to run in to screws for a place for the strap to lock in at and buy an extra battery strap. i run these in a series on my basher. it also give me the ablity to switch my battery to the left side when i run ovals on my race truck ,just got my Exotek today so i am redoing my race truck.

That's the stupidest thing ever, what idiot would even come up with that:lol:

Seriously, though, how did it drive?

solid and more stable than without it , not to mention it help me from lifting as much. Much more stable when taking corners hot and i can power through them harder without flipping, IMO.

The 4.5 is close to the 4000kv when both are geared for the same top end with the 4.5 just having a touch less torque and not quite as smooth on the powerband as it kinda kicks in later in the rpm. Unfortunately, I don't have an apples to apples comparison of the 5.5 and 4.5 as I don't have any experience with the 5.5 on the mtk clutch basket which I picked up when I threw the 4.5 in. However, I would suggest the 4.5 and gearing it lower than average with an 11 or 12 tooth pinion if you are worried about overpowering your ride. The 4600 would probably have to be compared to a 2.5 turn 550 motor. :lol:

If you aren't running garodisks you will notice a lot more punch with the clutch basket.

My v2 mtk clutch basket doesn't even touch the stock gear cover, so I haven't done a thing as far as clearance goes... Like others have said, it's very minimal if any.

Krio, thanks for the help, much appreciated. 4.5 it is. I started out in gas truck, so trigger finger still pretty good ;). Have had the MTK clutch basket sitting at the house for 2 weeks, maybe this week things will slow up enough I'll have a a chance to install. I think you said you're running HD pad inner and 2 std. in the basket? Mine is decoupled, but acceleration and braking have been excellent so far.

Yup, HD inner and 2 standard pads in the basket. I find this to have the most balanced feel for an unpinned setup.

The real stickon lead weights are illegal in California since 2010.

I have resorted to using tungsten in my oval car, but it turns out to be a positive change because of it's small size. Bonds on with Shoe Goo.

Boom, headshot.


That's also my way of thinking.

You mean like this?

I think the weight is about the same between saddles and the dual 1s batteries. I did it because I had them around.
