Hi all.

Sorry I haven't replied I was getting ready for my first race with the cars last night – and yes did good with the RB5 - Qualified 2nd and finished 2nd with the fastest lap of the meeting but that was just a little club meeting very well run by the new indoor venue at Taplow.

All orders have been accepted and are going to be shipped out first thing Monday morning.
The reason for an under servo weight and soon an under Lipo weight for the RB5 is a simple one really. Stops the car doing wheelies and makes it a much more stable car. On high grip surfaces like I was racing on last night (indoor carpet), the under servo weight is more or less a must. In fact one could argue that 56g is just short of enough. Like others have stated before and on many threads, it is a tuning aid but for me it stays in all the time. I was also using a under Lipo weight for testing last night and this will be available from early next week……this weight looks to be very similar to the same one used on the Associated B4 and on the Schumacher Cougar……….There will be three available at 50g – 66g and 84g…….. I am testing some more prior to these being released…... The idea of this is to gain the right balance especially over bumpy sections and jumps......

The adjustable weights for the ZX5 are right in the correct place for any weight and again can be tuned to suit all conditions as there are 4 parts at 15g each that equate to 60g if all used - yes price is inclusive of all the parts as a package.

Here is the under Lipo weight soon to be available....…
