1F comes in just under 48mm pin to pin I think (haven't got one to hand), and the 1E is the next one down at about 47mm. Hope that helps... I know 3Racing do some

BTW Seaball, that avatar is waaaaaaaay too creepy!

i can't disagree with that.

say, would you tell me the screw spacing of these blocks (c-c)? i figure i'm going to be hacking my chassus up, but it wouldn't hurt to know ahead of time by how much.

thanks again for the quick answers, gents. every now and again i forget to hate this forum.

Pics would be nice...

Seems like not too much place to put weights.....little bit on each corner, perhaps in the center of the chassis between electronics and batt? Do people stack the weights? It's looking like I have to add 90grams of weight!!!..Help!!!

kedal

90gr is a lot !

What lipo and speedo do you use ?
If you want to add weight on the lipo's side, try to move the lipo more outside, it's works very well to have a good balance.

where can I get some chassis balance pins to balance my 417? I see it has holes on the chassis for them.

There is another way of balancing the chassis instead of using balance pins, if you look at the front and rear shock towers you will see a small nick on the under side of both towers almost in the middle of the shock mounts, you use two small allen drivers one each end in the small nicks and lift the chassis, it will fall towards the heavy side.
Hope it make sence have a look at the towers and im sure you will get the idea.

I never noticed the little nicks on the shock towers!

Or buy yourself a set of these Scales....

Perfect for the job. My 417 with it's electrics & lipo are well matched (as I assume most will be too) and only needed to throw some weights down the center of the chassis to get it up to legal....

I noticed this nicks, but wonderring what it was for !
Thanks for the tips !

scales can be affected by droop and/or preload settings. the shock tower method is best.

lipo = protek 5000 mah
speedo = Tekin RS pro
Rx = Spektrum SR3001 (good thing i'm not using the SR3500)
big fan on motor

With body + clips + tires... = 1350g.

Allowed weight = 1440g.

I need to find place for 90g worth of weight. Going to be messy
