As for the battery discussion - I use a shorty pack, simply to make min weight. Monkey and 0000000 will attest that my car works.
I'm not very familiar with these new 'big bore' shocks. Do the pistons just have bigger bores (holes) or are they referring to the housing themselves and come with a larger diameter piston with those tiny holes?
I ask because I found that the cheap plastic pistons work so much better (with an exclamation point) than the white ones the 54000's come with.
As for shorty, I agree that with my loaded V2 I was EXACTLY at 1300.00g when I weighed it running my usual Rover Mini body.
