Hi again. If you was looking for a good set up and weights for indoors I have that now. My car last night was superb.I will fill out a set up sheet and post for you but not on this thread. The weight used last night was a 52g under Lipo and a 56g under Servo - real good!! - 6.5 motor on a 22 pinion standard spur

If you have a look on Petit Rc I think Nick Caro has posted up his setup for carpet. It's basically the same as I ran (our cars where almost identical at Petit) but now Nick has managed to find something that works for him with minimal extra weight. I'd suggest starting with his setup but with a bit of extra weight in (Tony's 66g LiPo weight should be just the ticket IMHO).
Be interesting to see how Tony's setup differs to Nick's .... hurry up and post it Tony

Weights for the ZX5
Hi Tony/ Guys
Looking at your website and also the post on oople and was wondering if you will be making any more weights for the ZX5 either FS or FS2? I know that you have poduced the centre spine ones but is there a need for wieght to be added under the cells. Seems that looking through general setups that there is a need to get the car upto weight as we are now using LiPo's and not Nicads etc. I know that they are old tech but coming back to the sport after about 8 years away and finding it hard to get my head around the differences with LiPo's compared to Nicads? Any advice on what weight needs adding and where would be great? and also any other advice would be great. Many thanks for any help/advise. Cheers Windy

The weight through the rear spine of the chassis between the Lipos has come from a few drivers testing and settled with the 60g weight there. Some actually run with less weight and hence the adjustable weight kit made for the car. We don't have any more plans to make more weights for the ZX5 yet as it looks like the car doesn't need it anymore. Saying that we do have some Saddle Lipo under weights if you wanted to try those but they are very heavy at some over 100g and you would also need to raise your Lipo posts as well. I personally don't think the car needs anymore at this stage. Hope this all helps you.....

To echo what Tony says most people I know, myself included now, run just the 60g in the spine. The FS feels really lively and very well balanced with this amount of weight in. On the odd occassion where a little more is required people seem to just use stick on weight on the side of the LiPo packs, but as stated this is very rarely done.

There are other ways rather than the Rude Bits weights but to be honest for the price Tony is asking I think they are a bargain .... I'll be swapping my dodgy bits of church roof for some shiney brass work soon

Been running the FS weight kit and it's certainly helped, just need to change some other things now.

Well, I just keep waiting on my RB5-bits... two weeks for shipping to the Netherlands for an item that's in stock? Hope to test the under servo weight soon!

Your order was sent to you on the day it was ordered. Postage to Holland and France has been slow recently and we have had various emails to this affect. Obviously this is not our fault as we sent your item out the same day as the order was received. Postage is totally out of our control. We can only assure you it has been posted. We would very much appreciate you looking at the postage date on your package when it does arrive and maybe amending your post on the forum that could be taken as a suggestion of bad service. Thanks in advance and please let me know when it does arrive

Ran 30g of rudebits weights in my fs2 at the weekend, made little difference to the handling of the car but just took away the unsettled feel. This allowed me to push that bit more. Great idea having them 15g each as you can fine tune car. A very good purchase for all fs/fs2 drivers.

What surface was it? Found the weight very useful too, certainly very good weekend before, but this weekend hard to tell as our astro track has gone greasy etc. Great product. Tony did a custom brace for my XXCR last year and that was superb

 As ive said all along... the FS works best with loose'er diffs, not cranked up like the other cars on the market.. theres a defo knack to getting them set up right! Once youve done it you shouldnt have to touch them again for ages

you've found yours and im sure Tony will find his..Its just getting out of the habbit of doing the usual diff test, hold one wheel and spur while turning the other wheel.. this way the whole transmission can be set to tight.. if i was to test mine this way now.. i guarentee most people will say its far too loose and it will slip when in reality its spot on, on the track! The way i check.. hold rear wheels between your legs... and turn spur with your thumb... if the slipper slips it should be spot on ( just check on something grippy to see where abouts its at, if too loose nip up slipper 1/4 turn) if its not look at the gearbox outdrive, if this is turning nip diff up 1/8th of a turn and try again.. once set correctly on something really grippy the slipper will slip for a second.. Once youve done this.. just go back to the way you would have checked your diffs... i think you will find your supprised how loose it may feel.. but when on the track its spot on.. Another thing if your slipper is too tight and your running a " separate slipper " you will loose steering.. Also a tell tell sign of a too tight transmission is wear in both gear box outdrives from the main drive shafts... the pin that goes through the ball that sits in the outdrive starts to indent into the outdrive cup. Hope this helps folks
