THEY ARE THE SHeeeT!
I've put several packs through the car with 'em on there and guess what:NO Movement! The way they lock onto the hinge pins and bulkhead makes them far more solid than the stock pieces--and completely adjustable, thankyou very much.
And I swear the car feels more solid too--though some of this is probably just in my head
Once they get on the car, the whole "bling factor" takes over (or at least it did in my case!) and rationality gives way to litte-kid enthusiasm
It's gonna take me a while to figure out how to make the most of the adjustments because I've never been able to fine-tune RC, AD, KU, etc. so quick. It's something I can now do trackside!!!
Thanks Kevin at PPD for coming up with something that should have been thought of years ago. I just wonder how long it's gonna be till they get copied...
Maybe you can get a patent or something?
After spending the entire Memorial weekend at the shop working 12+ hour days running 2 machines knocking more of these out....this kind of satisfaction makes it all worth while....thank you Brett.
They are now available along with an optional "2 block" that more then spans the entire AE block range.
They will get copied, but for now
ONLY TC6 has this option. 
As far as making the most...I'll say take 5 minutes (or less) adjust 1 turn and see what it does, if it's worse try the other direction, now changing the on and off power weight distribution is simple, and fast.

Thank you also Warren, we take alot of pride and no shortcuts in making things correctly and doing it once. This makes for happy customers with very little need for "product support"...who wants a phone call while your on the drivers stand.
