It's just one of those things, being that brass mounts could save a lot of other rooting around with smaller weights at various points.
add the weight in front of the engine, with the option weights, or add it to the battery side if you have a lipo, it's probably light on the battery side anyway.
you could also buy an extra 20 gram weight and stick it under the tank...
why do you need to add 75 grams? mine was fine with small tires. i added 20 grams on the battery side just in case i came under. from memory mine was just 10 grams over.
there doesn't seem to be many option parts of any value out there for the 5 at the moment...which is strange considering when the 4 came out a raft of bits from after market companies were available almost from the onset.
Greg, no need to freak out man. Set the mesh free without play on the small gear and make sure the 2 speed is not shifting late, also make sure the grub screws on the shoes are set so there is no gap or just .1mm of a gap...you should be fine.
If you are stripping gears like crazy it could also be your clutch setup or the cap that the long screw goes through. either the cap has the hole drilled out not centre or your clutch is set wrong. A dude was at the Nationals and he had stripping issues, it turned out it was the clutch, it was set wrong
i think from memory he had heaps of endplay and the large pinion was hitting the large spur gear!
