Japan has always done this. Mostly because they think highly of themselves..lol. Look at the price of their stuff... But yeah, I would expect AE to hold deliveries to other countries and at the minimum we all get stock at the same. Or the US first would be nice.

This may be an example of your just not having enough time to find the correct adjustment for the conditions. With more weight, the rear should be stepping out more, all other things being equal. More weight = more lateral load for the tires to manage.

This is very similar to when we ran weight in the B4 with lipo until the team found a setup that worked better at minimum weight (ironically, pretty similar to the base setup of the original B4, when 6-cell batteries were lighter than they became).

yes, but weight also applies more friction. And it slows down the agility of the car, or makes it feel more calm. The b4 was always too twitchy for me. And Where the weight is can effect the pendulum effect. It the weight is more central, as it is with the battery, that weight is more split between the front and rear wheels. If its more in the rear, then you can overload that end of the car and swing it. But IMO its a balancing act. You dont want too much or too little weight. Imagine if the car weighed 1oz with an 6.5 motor. You would be hard pressed to get much of that power to the ground. My point is, you need the right amount of weight, for a given amount of power on a given surface. You can go too far in either direction. Some people like very nimble cars... I dont like them. I prefer a more balanced feel from front to rear traction.

I meant 100+ lol. All of his cars I saw were built entirely with the Gold Ball studs. Something, I would never buy, lol.

Again...thanks for the buggy.

I can attest to the amount of upgrades to it. That Yaiba nonsense adds up QUICK don't it? You will be glad to know that I have bought more red for the buggy. Wheel nuts, countersunk washers, front hinge pin holder, and shock hardware.

You guys all cry like babies. Someone is gonna get their cars first and everyone else is going to be "butt hurt". The ship/release date was to be the end of Feb which looks to be on track and maybe ahead of schedule.

Why would a company keep an item with high demand on the shelf/in a warehouse just so you can have it first?

Because we are entitled Americans that want and deserve everything first...duh

Well, at least this isn't the D413 thread. They should change it to the D415 thread at this point.
