I think most team drivers are using one. I tried with and without at the F2’s and did prefer it on.

I'm just using the equivalent of weight in lead in it, you can put it in like Ashley did in his build report, you can easily fit 25-30gr.
I used 20 in the bulkhead hole, 7 under the steering, 5 just in front of the servo.

I am doing the same with the added lead. Out of interest what sort of overall weight are people running their CR2s at?

I just meant that the front brass bulkhead shoved weight way too far forward on the X6. It made the car nosedive over jumps (harder to correct with a mid motored car than with a rear motored car), and became a lot more unpredictable when turning through bumpy sections etc...

Having the weight around and under the servo just felt so much better. Way easier to drive, landing flatter too, but still giving the desired extra front end grip.

Now, this was what i felt was the case on the X6, which is why i ASKED if it's the case on the CR2, not that it'd be crap on the CR2 as well (not even seen one in the flesh yet, lol). Just wondered what people thought...?????
