Thanks for the info about weight. I started the season with 4 Ener G 4600's. I have added 2 Orion 3800 30C lipo's to the mix. The car has been about 2 tenths a lap faster with the lipo's without adding any weight. I just want to meet legal weight when I go to Lipo full time so that I can add smaller amounts just where I need it.

If postal scales are hard to find, search for a kitchen scale/food scale.

17.5/13.5 Gearing

Guys I've found another solution to properly gearing 17.5's and 13.5's while using a slipper. I think it's a little more simple than others, BUT it does take some older yet still able to find parts.

Parts needed:

RC10/T/B2/T2 outer slipper plate. (not t3/b3)
RC10/T/B2/T2 slipper disk (not t3/b3)
Bearing/bushing, size??? x1
1 Rear axle bearing spacer (the one thats in between the bearings in the rear hubs of b2,t2,b3,t3,b4,t4)
Standard spur
Spur gear screws x2

Installation:

Remove slipper setup, leaving the inner plate only.

Install B2 outer plate with slipper pad.

Insert bearing

Slide rear bearing spacer onto shaft

Slide slipper spring on and install nut

Attach gear with screws.

Done.
