Panther,
On balancing, mainly I am talking about the "penny trick". There is A LOT of reading between this and the Mini-Z threads here, and I have read through them both a few times, and there is tons on info. A lot of info on the mini-z thread is from earlier forms of the car and don't apply to the MR-03, but it still helps figuring out the in's and out's of the "Z's"!
Good Luck with the move! Drew
