A quick question..I have been running the kit top deck in stock class but have broken 3 top decks..I have the flex top deck but just looking at it do not know where you would use it ( would tweak the car very easily)Is the stiff top deck the Go?

with the core rc pack shifted all the way to the side make it flush with the chassis i only had to add about 2 1/2 ounces depending on what brushless esc/motor combo you are using

Was the 2 1/2 ounces to make the car balanced or was it enough to make legal weight? I have to had close to 100 grams or 3.5 ounces to make legal weight with the core pack and brushless.

I'm running brushless with NiMH packs, steel screws on 75% of the car, and stock bulkheads and I'm underweight, not sure how everyone seems to be overweight.

My sheer anal-ness makes me run the same screw because the others will look different

It's a problem I've had for years now.
