If one side of the chassis is low when it comes off the tweak station, then adjust both collars on that side down to get the ride height correct. Then redo the tweak. I have seen cars like this. You get better at doing the adjustments after some practice.


If the side to side weight balance is off on a Losi.

GP3300's are about 1 ounce heavier than ultra metals or stock metal hydrides. On a Losi XXXS You can compensate for this extra weight by mounting the transponer on the Losi like on a TC3. To the side of the servo. One racer at our track was doing this. There is just enough room. Also mount the electronics on the Losi on the outboard edge. With stock metal hydrides this is not neccesary. If the car is not up to minimum weight you can add ballast or steel screws to the light side of the car in the place of Aluminum screws. I took and relieved the Losi chassis slightly so that the battery bars did not touch the center tunnel. This prevents glitching and also moves the battery slightly inward if you use a foam spacer to hold it there. The chassis is slightly conductive and arces on the battery bars. At least put tape there.
