And Rick Hohwart, would it make much difference in your setup that you just emailed me to use with a stock motor and six cells, or will this make much difference??
Thanks everyone!
Sorry one more question, what is the best body out now to run for rubber/asphalt??
Tim
Most of the team drivers do not use the foam inserts in the shocks. There should be no difference in setup with a stock motor and six cells. Most drivers I know use the Protoform Mazda 6 or Mazdaspeed 6. The Mazdaspeed 6 seems to free up the rear end a bit but makes the car more difficult to drive.

You should not need to change anything on the setup. I will begin with the same Reedy race setup at the ROAR Nationals but with LiPo. I would place the ballast in front of an behind the battery equally. I use bolt in ballast (which we are now beginning to mass produce) in these positions but you can
servo tape standard lead weights as well.
