What Oscar said basically (beat me to it) you dont "have" to have fancy brass weights, but the results from the nationals showed that a heavy car is beneficial with Ellis and Phil 1 and 2 in the series and Tom dominating the last round...all cars were heavy, which can be achieved with lead plate/weights if required.
As for the long axles, they are only rare if people insist on searching for "old" Losi ones. they are an X-Factory part now and have been for 9 months and readily available from any X-Factory UK dealer.
If somthing is not in the "manual" does that mean it cannot or should not be done. There are LOTS of hop ups in all manufactueres cars that are not in manuals. (Cat SX rear shock mod, B4 new shock holes etc) these are all the developments "after" a kit is released (and manual written) that come out to advance a particular car (regardless of make). Surely that is why sites like this on t'internet are so useful for the most up to date help and advise. Coming from Micros Cris I thought you would undertsand this better than most, almost NOTHING is in the manual for the Mini cars that is any help for racing in the UK, but sites like your very own are invaluable to people looking to setup the car etc
