Yes u r right.. at first Im using the LCG with CF but do not get the grip i wanted up front in low-med traction parking lot track. Ive since change to brass and it really helps a lot.

can this be used in medium-low traction / bumpy track?

I would think so. However I do use 26-30 grams of weight in my front bumper.

Hi Guys, i had my first run with the 720 yesterday. with a 4 tank testing session on saturday, and 17mins of racing on sunday, i am already matching times i did with my G4RS. my car is a first model 720, with the one piece engine mount. i have a spool in it. i am waiting on the WC gears so i couldnt use the gearing i wanted to , and the std chassis.
are any of the new parts for the 08 that can give the car a better edge than im currently using.
i did DNF due to battery problems. i suspect fuel shorted my lipo, as the balance leads were dripping of fuel, and i had a run away while 1.5 seconds behind the leader. so a promising start i would have to say. cheers.

I cut under the upper bumper plate with an knife. I cut to the size of the weights I am going to use. Then I cut from the back side of the bumper across so I can pull out the foam piece I cut from the top. Then I use some kind of glue and put in the weight. I usually put the weight as low as possible and mount some of the foam on the top of the weight. When it is done sometimes you can see my weights. Hope this helps.

Yes, I wish to know also. I must say they had a small team, missing Michael, Paolo and Billy. Hopefully Mark, Sahashi or the italian kid can get in.
