Flush with the 2-speed weights. Tighten all the way down and then 5 turns out. Make sure that theres a small gap between the weights.

So far I spent $400 including the car. Price alone equals an MTX3 kit, body, and spare glow plugs. Currently the CD3 pro is my new ride, but if possible I will try the MTX4. The 8th is still the race car to run next.

You could try a longer header or an RPM pipe to help boost the top end.

The OS TZ is okay, but its a hit or miss thing on getting a good carb. It is NOT the fastest engine though, and you really don't need the fastest engine on parking lot type of racing.
Novarossi great engines
JP great engines
Mugen X12 great engine
Sirio Evo3 great engine
OS good engine

RC_greg- That goes accordingly to your track or where you plan to race. Bashing wise I ran the stock tires, which have insane traction. I think the setup was 40shore 26mm front and 37shroe 30mm rear.

RC_greg- I use the JACO nitro shoes for parking lot bashing and for the rears I use 45 shore and the front 42 shore, they are awesome in traction and last a lot!!! GOOD CHOICE...
