Never seen it done and have no idea after 20 years at this as to why you would. Maybe it's some new Cali thing that hasn't made its' way east yet

oops i was going the wrong way...heh

Hmmm havn't seen that out here in Cali... But I don't race 2wd yet so I don't look too much into it

I could see putting weight in the front but I always leave the rear alone as my motor is a little heavier than normal so the rear end has plenty to be getting along with

Man! I just got my T4 today and drove it at the park. I'm so in love with this Rc. I had every kid in the park chasing it. I cant wait to start upgrading it already. But first I wanna try a couple of times at the track stock first. (Love this truck!)

OK man I don't get it. A while ago I posted in this thread and you said that no one puts weight in the front, but they put it in the rear.

I'm running the SXX V2 with the Orion 13.5. It is so smooth! I have the Orion VDS-1007 servo in mine and it has gobs of torque and speed.

I haven't seen any weight on the arms, tbh I don't know how that would even stay on.

Now between the transmission and the suspension mount is common

Weight on the chassis is normal, you said "weight ON the rear arms". I've got weight in all the normal places on my b4.1 but none of it is ON the arms. It's there to help with rear traction and the extra 1/4-1/2 oz. by the receiver is to help balance out the chassis left to right. Now you get it?
