about the extra wheight: I'll post a picture of my car later on.
I used the Ghea-brass-toe and antisquat-parts.
I also drilled holes behind the battery on the left and right side of the motor, beveled it and bolted some drilled weights onto the chassis. AT first I used double-sided tape to glue those weights but they kept on getting loose after hard landings (or crashes )
I tried to get a 64% weight on the rear tires and that got my car very well balanced.

Some questions, Fabs:
1. I just wonder, what are the benefits of Bigbore shocks?
If your shocks are tuned right, they should just do the job: dampening bumps, bigbore or not ... or am I wrong here? Is there a difference?

2. About those Bigbore shocks: what is the "wheel-rate" of a shock??
Actually, I found this document about the BB-shocks: http://www.petitrc.com/setup/kyosho/...WheelRates.pdf
but I don't understand it.

3. could it be possible that you forgot my spare shocktowers?

4. I would also like to buy 2 top link holders. Mine are bent in a severe crash.
Frontal crash into a concrete pole after being hit by another car while I was on a long sthraight at full speed )

5. count me in for a saddle conversion-kit as well.

and last question: 6. How many kits do you still have, Fabs? If I find the budget, I might buy a spare one.
