the weights themselves screw together, where they are he most likely just tape/glued them, or the chassis would be weak that close to the edge.

Nope, it's just a screw hole...nothing making it weak. They are screwed to the chassis.

they were too busy preparing for the real nationals. That picture was from one of the short course showdown races.

i guess but too close to the edge for me, and too expensive for me too lol...

i am just using the standard old 1/4oz chassis weights, but wrap them in heat shrink tube so they look good and tape and glue stick better to it then the metal.

these nats were real, i was there didnt make it up.

like i said before, alot of other teams were there and i stated where "these" nats where so WC wither made a mistake or iam missing something lol.

There is absolutely no durability loss or worry, you can take that as a promise.

I did that as well, but you can't reasonably get 80grams in the front that way. That's 11-12 of the 7g bricks stacked up. I stacked 2x2=1ounce/24g and they fell out on the first run. had to drill holes and ziptie them in. Looking at it, getting 80 in there is going to be a mess. Those brass ones are ridiculously expensive though. I'm with you there.

i got 82g on my front.... 12 7g blocks, 6 on each side.

if you leave them in pieces of TWO you can run 3 stacks of TWO. and heat shrink them and they stay together well, plenty of clearance. and because heat shrink and ca bond to the plastic chassis very well, they stay forever, to get them off you need to put alot of pressure with a flat blade and the heat shrink actually rips to get the weight out, and then i use a dremel to clean it up, and also use some 250 grit on the chassis where i mount them so it lets it "grab" better before even mounting them.

Wow. I don't have shrink that big. Nicely done. Touche'

lower the lipo cutoff to 3.3 or 3.2volts. Are you using the blinky firmware that it was shipped with? or are you trying to use tubro and timing.

go to your local hardware store, they usually have it, 3/4" is what i used, but you could easily use something like 5/8".... 1/2" is what id use for a stack of 2, but for 3 you need 5/8"-3/4"

Nope, I mostly run indoor high traction clay all the time, the outdoor track is a rare event for me so never bothered to try the overdrive.

When I used 60 g it was too much and since I run outdoor/ indoor with much bigger jumps the weight ended up falling off.

Wildcat im in blinky mode

I used 3m outdoor mounting tape (5 lbs version). I put some along the side wall of the chassis and put the lead in. This helps to keep it in by having the lead stuck to 2 surfaces and no glue is required.
