Hey guys, reading and being a part of this thread has made me realize how important the setup should be.
Where can i buy a scale to get my car to the proper weight. I have the hudy set-up board and am just learning how to use it correctly.
Get some digital ones - they are as accurate as you need.When you use the Hudy a few times, you'll get the hang of it - check out the FAQ, as there is a mod to the rear prisms to allow easier access to the pivot balls.
i remmeber MIP made a tweak board to balance the car, but i remmeber that racers had problems with the tweak board. Is there another version or a better one.
thanks guys.
thanks guys.
it's the only part worth using Hope this helps

The overall powerband is better, and BRazil was very demanding in the engine dept. Uphill straight, uphil and downhill fast sweeper....
Novamega was really fast

Don't bother getting a tweak station/board - they don't work - again see the FAQ where Julius showed us why they don't work. The only method that really works is the lifting method. But make sure you do it on a very flat surface (i.e. the Hudy board) that is perfectly even and level - I actually you the spirit level from my MIP tweak station for this it's the only part worth using
Hope this helps
thanks mark, once again great & fast answers on the thread.
