Or you can take apart the rear bulkhead shock towers whatnot and stuff it in front of the tranny and behind the bulkhead.

weight near the tranny is centered along the chassis' centerline so it's doesn't affect side to side direction changes as much as weight placed farther from the chassis' centerline like in the rear triangles of the chassis. i think it sits a little lower too but i'm not sure.

Like Adam said being closer to the center would let the chassis react quicker say coming out of a corner it would get back to level faster. Also I think that it would be a little farther back also which would add a bit more weight to the rear end aiding traction just a bit more. I was going to try the weight there but never felt like dismantling the truck.

Tires?
What tires are the best for hardpack bluegroove tracks? I see a lot of people using panther tires. Which one (switch??) and what compound?

Halve, nice truck man. Lookin good : )
Calyakker, try some losi pink taper pins. Losi red directionals in the front. Or you can try tapers front and back. I never tried switches on 1/10 scale but ran em on 1/8 scale at the same track. They should have a clay compound I think.

Either silver tapers in the front and red in the rear, or Medium Soft in the front and Super Soft in the rear for switches (2.0). Switches from some of the sponsored guys go for 10$/pair (at least here) and they usually sponsor people that have at least some skill, and you get tires for 5/pair.

Where is a good reasonable priced place on line to buy associated parts, 99% of the parts I buy at the LHS but once in a while they don’t have something or it is on back order. I know tower has a lot of stuff but after shipping it still costs way more than at the LHS

Curious if anyone has actually put the new GT2 arms on their T4 yet? I'm thinking there is too much material around the inner hinge pin to clear the stock bulkhead.... so I'm guessing with the new aluminum GT2 bulkhead and arms it would be a direct fit. Is that true or is there something I'm not seeing.
Thanks.
Thanks.

CVD pins
Has anybody replaced the inner pins on their CVDs before? I have seen guys fo it on 1/8 CVDs before but not 1/10. Seems like an inexpensive way to revive an otherwise good set of CVDs.

Losi Truck
Does anyone know if Losi has run the new CR truck at any races this year? If they have I find it funny that the older T-4 is still laying down the law on the new truck. Also what can you swap out on from the GT2 to the T-4 other than arms.
Many Thanks...........

According to a podcast by Adam Drake they are just starting to work on the new truck platform. It is not even decided if it will be called the CR yet or how different it will be.
