Andy - see my thread two posts below 'First time out . . '. Download the setup sheet from Mat Dodd. I was struggling like you until I set it up exactly per his sheet.

If you go to the last few posts on the thread you will see that I asked Mat about weights and he has provided his info in the last hour or so.

Myself I run 100g behind the servo, 110g under the speedo and 35g under the lipo and I have the heavier plastic chassis. I also have a fan on my motor, which adds a further 35g in that area. My lipo weighs 290g and I have a relatively light speedo - LRP SXX Competition. Finally I've taped up the inside of the body with cricket bat tape making it quite chunky at 70g.
All the weights are knocked together from lead sheet and in comparison to the flash brass weight kits it has a much lower profile and hence centre of gravity.

All in, it's a whopping 1850g in weight, but that suits me as a novice driver.

Re roll bar - yes I run silver on the rear.
