Actually, you use as many as needed to avoid slop and binding. Could be 1, could be 3.

I did and still the same issue. I don't understand why it tightens up like that.

Make sure you didn't overtighten the diff casing screws that attach to the motor plate. If you did it can bind with the spur gear causing it to grind against the tips of the screws........

There will be rings on the metal part if the screws are overtightened

Love that buggy , perhaps the best tool for learning & enjoying this sport .

Can someone provide a simple explanation on our the weight near the transmission makes for more steering? Do the rear triangles count as "back by the transmission" or does that only apply to the where the rear ballast weight goes? Do the front triangle count as a spot to give you more side bite?

Running a 7.5 with 22pinion, is there any other place better then stacking up weights on the servo to try and keep the nose down instead of wheelies?

Right down my throttle epa is set to 90% and front wheels barely lift up on gunning the stright after a turn. Finding a way to get 10% of the other throttle without a wheelie.

Weight transfer, more weight in the rear gives more to transfer to the front.

would that not be the same for the rear, more so because if the weight is over the rear wheels?
