Guess I'll try the blues in the rear and the mega anti-squat
Going to try settings out of the norm too. Who knows, I might stumble upon something.
Does using the muchmore shock oil make that much difference? I currently use AE because that's the only oil the LHS carries. I know the viscosity rates are different, but you guys think MM55 is too hard for asphalt?

Post here soon on the handling differences if you have the SMOKEM chassis install, I ordered EXOTEK one and its on its way now.

Hi quick question
In the Red RC videos of Jilles Groskamp building his 416 hes always shimming everything out. Im just wondering where you purchase all the shims from?
Thanks

TRF416X Chassis Balance
Can someone help? On my TRF416X, the weight is distributed as per below picture. Originally, I had the PPD Billet Ez-lipo weight tray under the battery which weighed 84.6 g, but had a really hard time trying to get balance the car on the Hudy tweak station.
I have checked the numerous times, the chassis straightness, the droop is correct, and shock lengths and tensions are the same, but ultimately was able to balance the car w/ the removal of the PPD Billet weight and simply adding the 35.9 grams behind the battery.
***Doesn't this seem weird??? Can anyone help, by advising where and also how much weight I should add to my car, w/ the below weighted items, in the specified locations???
On the left-side;
- BLS451 Servo: 57.4 g
- AMB Transponder: 7.9 g (on top of servo)
- R603FF Receiver: 12.6 g
- LRP SPX esc: 69.6 g
- Trinity Duo 17.5R BL: 175.0 g
-------------------------------
Left-side total weight: 322.5 grams
On the right-side:
- Lipo Batter: 264.5 g
- Additional lead weights: 35.9 g (behind the battery)
-------------------------------
Right-side total weight: 300.4 g
With the body and wheels on, the total weight becomes 1334.5 grams
Your help is deeply appreciated.

Going to try out the Exotek chassis this weekend. Had some fitment issues, but the build is coming out fine. I need to weigh out everything after completing the car, but I feel 60g on the batt side might a little too much for a TP5000mah. I tried to use the inner most batt position, but the front steel weight hits the steering post so I have to use the middle hole position. Still yet, I have to test everything out once I have car in race ready form to balance things out. Will chime in later.

I had the same issue as you. But in my case, I could not balance the car, even with the same amount of weight L/R. The issue was weight distribution. The motor is the heaviest object on the left side. If you look at your diagram, the car gets heavier as to go towards the rear. So naturally you would put more weights to the rear side of the battery. It also helps if you move the battery out to the edge of the chassis at an angle like some of those lipo trays. But you shouldn't balance with 22g less weight to begin with though.

Thank so much for your input! I'm sort of happy that I'm not the only person w/ this problem.

416X Build Help
I'm in the process of building my 416X and I have a few questions:
- Do you guys recommend using Loctite on the screws that thread into the bulkheads and motor mount?
- Is there an option part for the long blue alloy ball connectors? Part #? I fear the longer ball connectors may break or bend.
I still have the suspension to complete, but much of it seems to be a lot like my TA05 IFS-R.
Thanks!
