I do this with the std. Worlds setup (see manual). Plus Ellis' steering mod. And front diff, no one-way.

It drives amazingly!
Ok, I've been experimenting , and this weight setup doesn't allow you to get the most from the car. It's only about as quick as the dialled 2wd cars. The car pivots about the rear end too much.

So I've added 110 grams between the front belt housing, around the bellcranks and either side of the slipper shaft. It's much better - about 5% quicker - but still not fully there.

I'm going to copy Danny McGee's weighting now - as below - basically relocating the esc behind one of the lipo cells. hoping for an improvement.....
