I just don't know what the plusses are to running a tjicker weight in the center. If anyone can elaborate i would appreciate it.
I have always run 10k in the center diff on my Kyosho ST-RR. Last weekend I tried 30K to see if it would help me be able to clear a double that was right after an 180 degree turn.

The 30K was just what I needed. No problems with the double and I could not find any negatives to making this change. I also noticed less ballooning of my front tires on the straight.
