I know I have read that you can get some info off of the Hudy site, but it doesn't seem to sink in reading this (like taking a sleeping pill) and it seems to go way deep and looses my interest. Is their a more practical place to read this. i.e. RC SETUP FOR DUMMIES. Thanks again
You also have to take into consideration the jumps "face" often uneven due to the nature of the sport, even tho your truck could be balanced, you can always hit the jump just a hair wrong or a bad spot in the face and get twisted in the air. Fortunately we are able to manipulate these vehicles easy while in the air via brake,gas and steering. (more so in 4x4 applications) But It surely wouldn't hurt to use scales if your looking to tinker, Maybe just to learn or whatever it may be, but I'm not convinced it will take you from a b-main runner to a top 5 in the A-main. Would actually be neat to just see how close these vehicles come balanced from the factory tho...
