I want to be at the 1500g legal limit then tune the car around the weight. I know the weight makes it more stable, but i want to try and make the shorty pack work because we all know lighter cars are faster cars. I raced with it last weekend and came in 6th out of 12 or so cars, with some terrible first few laps. I'd also like to buy 2 scales, weigh each corner with stick pack and shorty, get the car to 1500g while maintaining the same percentages of each corner, or close to it. Basically making it lighter as a whole rather than just the back end.
Awesome notes, gives me something to look at and base my judgement on whether to go back to original equipment or continue till it becomes a problem. Thanx again, I'll weigh mine up, I run a full lipo size pack too, so that will add extra too.

Cheers
