18167 didn't add enough weight for me unless you fill whole tray up with extra weights.

You can also run the short transmission, CAP-2494, (or just get 2479, 2481-k and 2010RB) and the 29t side pulley, CAP-2102. Chassis weights, CAP-18140.

I agree. I bought the weighted battery plate fairly early, before the 2600k or the thicker weighted battery plate were released. I ended up also sticking lead weight on the base of the roll handle.

BigC2007, I strongly suggest this upgrade: https://www.rctarget.com/24-Conversi...04_p_2975.html
Talk to Paolo Morganti (RC Target) he will set you up. He's got a very strong 804 setup for Steel City

The Precision hubs are nice. The aluminum inserts provide for less flexing and it's a breeze to service the hub bearings. The 86g battery plate is great if you need that much extra weight to meet the legal minimum weight. If you need less, there are a couple brass options as well as the brass center bulkheads.

The absolute best 1/8 car I have ever driven and I've managed to experience most over the years. You will absolutely love it - straight out of the box setup rips.
