Why not add weight with lead till you find a weight your happy with, Then look for a product that is the nearest to what suites your driving style.

Well mine are a little lighter at 36g if that helps?


I could even modify one if you wish to take a few more grams out?

Do you have weight behind the servo? 120g here is not uncommon.

I run my X6 Squared with one of Noel's 'Cream Extreme' bulkheads. For me the weight is spot on and I add 80g behind the servo. I usually run with saddle pack lipo's pushed forward, unless it's wet then I take the servo weight out and revert to stick with the lipo weight further back.

Also, being stainless steel there's not a hope in hell of the bulkhead bending. Prior to this I had fitted brass bulkheads and I had two bend under high impact crashes - which I can do often and better than most.
