HAHA my wife is that same way. But I recently figured something out. ( and was able to order my Mantis ) I buy my daughter ( wife will buy her anything! ) a MRC and now let the money flow. I order what the daughter need and throw in some parts for me. |

A win win. Buy the parts. Say ur building her a truck so you 2 can enjoy something together. Either she will get into it and allow orders or she won't want it and it is yours.

Okay, trying to match up to your weight distribution still using stock XR wheels. Your tuning hints said VP knuckle weights plus two discs up front. That's 4.74 oz according to VP website. So I could use four 1-0z weights and two CI 1/3 oz aluminum weights from CI. On the back you use two 1-oz weights, so I could put two weights in the wheel or all six aluminum weights. (Or I think I could do it your way still using stock wheels) I know there's still the argument as to whether weight belongs on the axle or in the wheels, but ignoring that do I have it right? What would throw me off is if you're running a bare wheel that weighs a lot different than the stock wheel bare. |

| Thanks Mitchell...I'm fully stoked now...even thinking up some wild ass body panels. have you tried any other bent links in the front at all...I know Norcal was having some issues but he didn't elaborate much....didn't know you were having the same issues. I have a machinist friend that could fab some links pretty easy if I knew what length and bend it took to fix it. Also still wondering what that rear wheel weighs....I know WAM was doing a bunch of math...but I couldn't follow much of it or where he got it....

As for weights, I would put 3oz at least in the rear. I'm running 4oz and I'm liking it. Did you get the 3 or 4 slug holders? | |

| 4oz total in the rear, 2oz in each wheel. The 3 hole should be ok. You can squeeze at least 3oz in the rear with that cant you?
