It's the "in each rear triangle" that I don't get. Am I missing something?

ok its the rear corners of the chassis, the little spots behind where the speed control goes and the reciver.

Hopefully somebody from the ministry of Silly Walks can clear that up for you

The rear ballast weight from Ae weights about a 1 1/2 oz * ....

* wrong weight, sorry suppose to be 14g

That what I use , but if I have a loose surface or dusty ?

Will remove some to help find grip....

Higher traction needs 14g..

more rear ballast weight = more rotation , corner speed & steering

Don't have picture , sorry..

Hey Cherry! Are you using any special spring cups or retainers to mount the TlR springs on your or your team mates stock B4.1 shocks? What color or rate spring are most of them liking so far?

now THAT clears it up

I thought triangle meant A-arm... damn me, non-native speaker

thanks for the help - interestingly this is where I had weight on my car already

The wedges on both sides of the body donnot seem to give much room for a big ESC.

Does anyone have an answer to this?

I think the only one that works is the stock proline body. You need 35-36 mm in height. I can tell you for a fact the JC Finnisher body will not fit over a MMP.
