I've spent a solid hour searching for what the typical front/rear weight bias of the RC8B3 is and can't find anything. Anyone here recently scale their buggies and have that info? Thanks in advance.

never scaled the buggy as there isn't really any way to move a ton of weight around on the buggy other then adding weight to the front or rear.

What is everyone's preference for shock caps? The ft bleeder caps it the fastrace bladder?

Understandable. I have an B3.1e and I want to centralize the weight by going with a lighter motor and pack. Hoping I could get some nitro front/rear numbers as a starting point for the balance so I can use similar setups.

Just put the front wheels on the scale and put something under the rear wheels to make the car level. Then turn the car 180° and meassure again.
Now you have the front/rear balance ;-)

Updated car. New arms, new C and D blocks. Maybe a couple other small things.

Some of the guys at DNC were not running the new parts and still had crap results so I'm not putting much stock in that. I also saw a few pics of one car that had the new C and D block with the current arms so it looks like parts can be mixed to suit tracks and driving styles. I really like my 3.1 so I'm glad they seem to be going for an evolution vs a completely different design.

ok thats a lot better to hear. Still don't know why they would run solid arms on a track like that. lol

That didn't make much sense. Some of the Mugen guys were running the older MBX7 arms looking for more flex.
