Hey all
ln our race the minimun weight is 1350 gr.
My TC6.1 WC with Speed Passion 13.5, Cirtix Esc, Savox 1251 MG is about gr.900
Lipo NVISION 5500 - 90C 300 g
Body g 100
Sorex 36 g 120
Total weight 1420 g
Which is the weight of your cars, TC 6, TC6.1 and WC ready to run?
Other friends racers with XRay- Yokomo- Sakura add weight to achieve the minimum required. Any tips?

I am currently having a slight push in high speed sweepers in my USGT car (TC6). I'm currently running a slipper spool up front and it's very tight (as you'd expect). Rear is a ball diff and is fairly loose. I'm considering adding a gear diff up front with some very heavy oil in it. My hope is that it would give "just enough" to help alleviate this slight push, but still remain solid enough to provide needed stability.
I'm curious if someone could make a good recommendation for a starting point? The surface is low-med grip asphalt. I should also point out that I'm pretty happy with the handling of the car otherwise, but I wouldn't mind just a touch more turn-in.

The TC6.1 is a heavy car. A lot of it has to do with the construction of the A Arms and suspension blocks. It will be very hard to get it down to 1350, but aside from the Screws and body, 13AWG wire is more than enough for your 13.5 motor and will drop some grams.
We sell aluminum Ball ends for the TC6 which are lighter than what AE offers and can add up to 5-10G of weight savings too.
Lastly, I remove the upper plastic bumper brace on my cars and use a CF brace from Tamiya or some washers to hold the Foam bumper in place. While this puts the front end of the chassis at a bit of a risk, it does shave about 8G.
All in all I have gotten my RSD6 to about 1355-1360G Ready to Race with a 4.5 Motor (heavier than stock). It's not easy, but it's doable.

I had some disappointment this last weekend with my 6.1 WE. Every single run that I did, I always came back in with at least one busted blade. I used up about every single blade I had in my box and wasn't sure if I was going to get through the entire weekend, then I would need to replace the outdrives on the spool because they would torn up as well. Does anyone else have these same problems I have? I have not had these issues with other older cars that I had which why I have some concerns.
