Are you running a full pack or shorty?

I'm running a shorty, and my track is very bumpy at the moment, so I'm running yellow fronts, and white rears! When we have a fresh layout, I usually run red fronts and yellow rears.

Full pack.

Your probably right in the ball park then with the additional weight of the full pack, if anything you might try the yellow rears if you have some rough sections on your track.

I got told white all the way around (safe starting pint)


Yes the kit did come with lead weight.

So does the weight change that much?

I just finished building my Worlds and yep it comes with a lead block. They need to give u a pic on where it goes though. It just says to put it in before u install the tranny. I finally figured it out. It goes under the rear shock tower and when u put the tranny in, it kinda locks it n there

How much does the ballast weight weigh? Do a lot of people run it in their cars? I've been running it off and on, I couldn't decide which I liked better. A couple people said they think it needs to be run to get it to handle right, but other people have said they don't think so, I didn't know what to believe. I'm assuming that it will be beneficial to run it if they're giving it to you in the Worlds Kit?

I run it.
Only way to know if you like it or not is to run it and see how it feels to you...

I run full size packs with the Avid springs. On a medium to high bite clay track, I ended up with yellow front and white rear (35wt/30wt Associated oils with #2 pistons). I initially ran white all the way around but switching to the yellows gave me a bit more steering. From there I pushed the battery back 1 thin pad because I had a tad too much steering and now I'm very happy. Havent tried the reds up front yet, may give that a shot tonight.

Please let me know what you think . And thanks for the input.

I was wondering if the servo horn should be bottomed out? I'm using a Savox 1257 servo with the Futaba servo horn and after tightening the screw there is a gap between my Savox and the horn.

I was looking at 8 racing carbon fiber front shock tower anybody have any experience with this piece? it looks great.....

Mine doesn't I'm running the same set-up

I've always wondered why people don't run carbon fiber?

I've not tried it but I'm not sure I can see the point either. What was there about it that appealed to you? It looks slick, that's true. But I'm not sure there is a real reason in kicking out the coin for it.

Because spending 35-40 bucks for one shock tower is stupid
