Also, Michael was already using the silver aluminum mid bearing block. Also, he has some kind of bronze weight stuck on the left side of the chassis.

I think those are prototypes that Serpent is going to come out with a final version. I can't remember who but somebody from Florida also bought a 710 (2nd had) and it had the prototype CVDs in them...

[BUmmm, I may want to get this 3Racing part since this is a non wearing part. What can go wrong with the setup wheels?
Egg shape or each one will come in different diameter?

When you can't get your toe right, I can image "additional" weights being place on them after which I foresee the Golum effect hence oval set-up wheels!

I'm learning though since a few of us are planning on going to the WinterNats in Feb next year.
Next time I'm at the track I'll put those set-up wheels on the car and do a few laps. See if they are round.

Didn't Schrijver99 mention the mid bearing block adds less than 1g?
If the aluminum mid bearing block and radio tray support together add 10g, that's probably a lot. Then I'll still be at 1675g race ready, save the fuel...

I think Michael put the weight there to balance the chassis.

Not anymore... Engines may be outlaw but weight, nitro content, bodyshell are legal.

I can't tell you how it affects handling yet. I'm having trouble starting my engine!
