How many run the AGM4224 front end counterweights?

Obviously this is adding unsprung weight, but what is the most noticeable affect on the feel of driving the car?

Tried it on xray XB8 and that calmed the car down a bit. Don't think you will need it on A215 due to the stability that this car has.

thought id just let you guys know as well as give a shout out to Cuzi racing's team driver Warren van der Merwe for a dominant past weekend at out first national round of the year. TQ, Amain Buggy win as well as Amain Truggy win for Agama against the fastest drivers in South Africa! Buggy A final was an epic race with the top guys within a few seconds of each other for the full hour race. the lead swopped twice on the final lap with Warren taking p1 in the last corner of the last lap to win the race after 1 hour by 0.5 sec from JQ sponsored driver Miguel Haasbroek. insane race. Congrats to team driver Justin van Biljon for his p4 as well.

Car is great, very stable, jumps and lands awesome , plenty of traction and steering, extremely durable as well, also the support on this brand is excellent

I raced mine for the 1st time this past weekend and turned faster laps than my previous car that I had been running for a a long time, the more changes I made the better the car became as well

If your on the fence on buying one go for it!

you only need the kit springs (medium) 95% of the time. the only option we use sometimes is the yellow rear springs (soft). not even sure the kyosho springs would fit due to 17mm shocks. but no need to be honest....the agama springs do their job perfectly...def not something to worry about on this car compared to other brands
