I noticed from the picture no weights down in the bottom of the chassis. Was the traction good enough that the car didn't need the lower CG or was there simply too much weight elsewhere on the car that additional weight wasn't an option?
Another question regarding the pulleys. Is it just the side pulleys or were the front diff pulley and rear center brake adapter pulley also in aluminum? Can't tell from the photo.
Thanks,
Daniel

The extra weight we needed was in the engine mount and the Nimh 1600. So with the weight there I was able to lighten up the car in the drive train and balance the car. We also run the plastic receiver box. Ralph's car weighed 27 grams over the limit with main tires. With just the capricorn wheels with no rubber Ralph's car was 2 grams over the limit.
The pulleys we ran were just the outside. Everything else was stock plastic. Xray will offer all the pulleys in alum.
Thanks Drew
