Martin,

The weight is added to the front bumper, not the rear. I had a look at Bruces car at the Masters and with the Ride body the car was super dialled on the track. He sure gave out a hiding to us other drivers.

I will be trying some of these setup ideas on my MO5M and see if it makes the car better. The old adage nothing ventured nothing gained.

My MO5L from the Masters weighs in at 1465gms, so was is a little portly as well. I also used different front tyres to all the others, which makes the car a little harder to drive, however I will be trying softer springs up front and the rides to see how it handles.

Later,

Calvin.
