I have the AE weight next to the tranny, two 1/4oz on the rx side in rear triangle, one on right side. Another 1/4oz in front of rx and two 1/4oz right behind the servo running a shorty as well........

I would think so. I am at 1530 with no weight other than ballast, and Matt is at 1523 with quite a bit of weight and a shorty pack. Waflet runs a T4.1 chassis and was at 1542 I think. My current weight is

30C 4000 full pack
Small Bore with Big Bore Springs
AVID Rack
Ballast Weight

That is fully ready to race, wheels, body, wing, transponder, etc.

the t4.2 will be popular in aus but we don't have stock and mod for truck anymore just the one class 10.5t blinky

Ran today and my car was plowing. Changes from last run, new DE racing black wheels and had to go blinky instead of 0-5 on mode 2 and 3 LRP SXX. Big bore shocks set up to spec for B4.1, was turning well on Tuesday but today totally different car. Track was usual, indoor clay with medium traction. Had to pretty much let off the gas to get the tractor to turn and not plow.

You said new wheels...perhaps new tires as well? Probably just need to get broken in.

Yes new tires, how long does break in take?

All depends on the type of tire and surface. Some track surfaces will require very minimal break in if any (outdoor blue groove). Some surfaces, such as indoor clay, may require they tire to be broken in quite a bit. Some racers scuff their new tires on a sander or in the parking lot to wear in the tread. JConcepts recently introduced a broken in version of their BarCode tire....the BroCode, this tread significantly reduces break in time compared to a new set of BarCodes.

Depends on the tire. Do some figure 8's in the parking lot for a couple of minutes. (not donuts).
