Pro is lighter weight. Supposedly less tough but I got rear ended in mod and it only put a little chip in the axle. Everyone I know runs the graphite. Significantly lighter esp for stock classes.

Xpert Servo
Has anyone tried to run a servo like this?
xpert-rc CI-2401-HV
It's fast, has a lot of power and very light. 21g
As it is a micro would the gears just strip too easy?
I have been running
xpert-rc MI-3301-HV(M2)
If rocks for steering, but it's also very heavy. 37.5g

I love these Xray front ride height shims! Why can't the rear use something similar!
#232
My Zen rs12 uses shims at the rear. I like it way more than the other systems so far.
#233
I've had the thought of using a set screw type screw at the rear axle for several reasons. It would be easier to add or remove shims, and take the axle on or off
#235
Literally replacing the small round orange shims that are currently used.
This way the shims would be in front and behind the axle.

Going across the pod, inline with the axle is not a bad idea, however it may not work in spec classes as the motor sits too close to the axle. It would be nice if it worked tho.

Constant ride height adjustment is a fact of life in 12th scale so I think the design effort should be made for the 2019 model. Fiddling with these tiny washers is (censored). The front shim system is fantastic and greatly improves my enjoyment of racing 12th scale. I know someone will say buy a CRC for their slider pod but that's not happening - too much good stuff on the X12. A small design change is all that's required to use a similar shim system on the rear. Just put both bearing block screw locations behind the axle. You can also lower the screw height considerably so it'll have an improved CG. Additionally you could connect the two bearing holders together with carbon fibre plate to maintain bearing alignment. I can see several easy peasy lemon squeezy ways to implement a nice shim system like the front and make the CG lower and sexy. L shaped bearing blocks would work too - just need the screws behind the axle.

If your budget allows do what I do. I have enough tires trued to the same height and run a new set after every run. It will prevent you from having to change ride height on race day. Then all I do is take the tires back home re-true them all to the same height again set the car up at home and you’re ready for the next race. It doesn’t really cost any extra to do it this way. Just an idea

Changing rear tires isn't fun either. You have to remove and install six screws that hang up on the rims, hard to get the rim perfectly aligned with the holes and then when you're done the tires have lost that perfectly concentric attribute that only happens when you don't remove them every 8 mins.
I can the change front height precisely and quickly just by loosening 4 screws - it's really nice and I want it on the rear gall dang it - LOL.
