Are you guys putting the 60grams under the spur from maifields setup?
Get a pack with a few strips if you don't have the Exotek. If you have the Exotek you only need a few grams. But I think they come in packs with a few strips anyway.

Not sure it matters lead or iron. I got mine from a LHS that has planes.

Harbor Freight tools, if you have one by you. Just saw some good ones today! They even have self-adhesive on the back!

Ok I got the V1 center diff installed right now. I want to switch over to the Exotek front locker and twin garodiscs. Do you think they will be a big difference? The center diff worked great for the first few races but the spur gear wobbles badly and it doesnt seem to have as much low end punch as it use to.. Rx8 and pro 4 4600 13-60 gearing.

yeah, I have 1 oz left and right on the servo.
so about 2oz on the floor of the chassis on the left side.

hey, its you.

From my understanding the V1 rcshox has left kick than the v2.

The exotek locker, allows you to locked the front and then adjust the rear slipping. this just allows you to make the front constant while you toon the rear. I like the locker, but I am still trying to get the right front to rear power correct. mostly because I parked the truck for a month.

yup, total i have 4 1/4. mostly all layed down on bottom. i had some stacked on top of eachother but they fell out like 3 times even after retaping em and glueing once. now they are individual they stay in.

so im close to the 5oz that the stock exotek chassis is.

Upgrade to the V2, no wobble and more punch. Those two things are the main thing that the revision addressed.
