why I didnt run 19T I was just wanting to get the car dialed in and set up for carpet for a great winter season maybe in a few weeks I might hit some 19T also but after last night I should have been with the novice class.

More corner speed
I think he needs a challenge, get him over here and see how much corner speed he can get Is that an Orion LCS transponder without it's case?
Looks like he's going to extremes to get the weight as low as possible, then he shoves a whole heap of lead weights on the center line
Sure it's the best way to distribute weight but sheesh, I'd rather protect my electronics a bit more I see he's also got an extra body post to support the shell around the front window, I wonder what the trade offs are, between extra high up weight and more ridgid shell shape
If he really wants to support the shell and keep weight down, he should devise a way of including the support onto and arial mount/tube

Yea they had both the R2 and the R3 on a Scale next to each other at the Tokyo Hobby show and the R3 was in fact 29~30 grams lighter

It won't be like that next week...plus I'm going to run in the 19 turn class instead of stock since the car feels really good.
