Hi guys, My T4 is pretty much standard from the kit, when i weigh it with all electrics and shell it weighs well over the 1350g limit. Wheres the best areas to target to reduce weight? i.e swapping parts/bolts etc Thanks Nathan |

Sure your scales are accurate? Standard electrics with 6000 lipo's AND a large Nosram heatsink with 40mm fan, mine weigh's 1358g The best you'll manage changing screws etc is a few grams. If you really want to lower it change electrics. What does your car weigh? Skiddins |

Yea scales are fine, been on several. Electrics are - ORCA VX ESC, ORCA 6500 infinite lipos, savox shorty servo, sanwa 451 reciever, Dynamite 13.5 motor and a much more 40mm fan. Car weighs about 1370, so its not far off but it doesent allow me to put the weight where i want it as it goes even more overweight, Thanks |

How does it get even more overweight? 1370g is fine, better than making the car so weak with lightweight parts that it can't finish a race. Skiddins |

20 g overweight is fine and I would say just leave it alone |

when i say more overweight i mean if i want to try and balance the car up left to right, front to back etc i have to add more weight to it as it is which is 1370 so it gets heavier and heavier Thanks |

Just move around the electrics and lipo until it is closed to balanced. Do you have any photo's of your cars electrics, we might be able to make suggestions. Skiddins |

What tyres are you running as some can vary by around 20g in weight? |

Check your body....regular weight body and custom paint will put more weight than you would think onto your car..and high up where it will hurt the most.... |
