I had a suspicion that the Tresrey weight, at only 26g may be not weighty enough as it will still allow some swing in the rear, but the added inertia will make it harder to stop that swing (so con with no pro)

I was thinking that the RDRP weight, at twice the Tresrey one, would have the weight needed to stop the initial swinging in the first place, but of course if you get it wrong it will be much, much worse than the Tresrey (but at least there is the pro if you don't go beyond the limit)

As for the jumping balance issue, could a small amount of weight at the front (say 10g or so) be used just to balance out the buggy in flight? Although this would depend on if your club runs tracks with big air jumps as to how prevelent this problem would be???
