What weight would you advise round Stotfold in the wet? As standard I have the full ESC, servo and speedo weights in but feel like it needs weight adding to the rear. There isn't anywhere much to add weight further back than the lipo on the vega chassis though is there?
Definatley take the servo weight out and if you can, possibly, remove the speedo weight if you still can't get on the power. You can add weight in the pockets either side of the motor. I have 40 g in total there. Aslo if you have a half size lipo weight, you can run it under the lipo at the back. I quite often run one there.

Have you drilled the extra hole in the rear wishbone? Standing the shock up on the wishbone and tower will help.

How many washers do you have under the front innner ballstud? in the wet you should be on 1 or 2mm and in the dry i generally run 3 or 4mm.

Make sure it's not too low on ride height.... driveshafts level

I may be there tomorrow afternoon... but i'm just about to leave for a stag do, so we'll see...
