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

Will remove some to help find grip....

Higher traction needs 1/1/2 oz..

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

Don't have picture , sorry..

The rear ballast weight weighs 17 grams.

This has probably been asked before but here goes, the rear aluminum hubs(AE ones) that come in the .1 kits, are they indicating total toe change or per side? I have the .5 degree hubs and wondering if total toe is 1 or .5 degrees.

3 deg. toe block with .5 hubs will give you 3.5 deg per side.

Uh, that would be 7 degrees of total toe. I think you meant to say 4 degrees total?

nope 3.5 per side is 7 total degrees...

a 3 deg. toe block gives you 3 deg. PER side.

No, he's right. It would be 3.5. It is always per side and never a total added together.

3 deg block with .5 hubs is 3.5

2.5 block with .5 hubs is 3

3 block with 1 hubs is 4

i swapped it out on my sc10s because the rollpins were loose inside the axle that sometimes it would fall out when I washed my tires. on my b4.1 for some reason the rollpins are very snug and don't budge, so I don't have that problem yet. i think it's a good time for me to swap to rear hexes on my b4.1 since i don't have any good rear tires left

What is the reason for all these springs? I've heard (but haven't confirmed) the kyoshos are progressive and associated are not which I can see as a tuning option. What's the difference for the losis?
