| Re: Krawl's "SECRET AGENT" Is that rtr with a battery? Did you have to add or subtract weight at any corner to achieve this, if so where and how much?

The xr is incredibly balanced already. Paying good attention to individual wheel and tire weights is key. Hope that answered it... | |

| Re: Krawl's "SECRET AGENT" This is the main reason i run the batt on the axle. I have gone back and forth with the batt in the chassis and on the axle. With the batt on one side and the servo on the other it seems to balance out the front axle really well.

Have you noticed with this chassis if you need more or less front weight bias than a 50/50 chassis?

Coming from a 50/50 chassis I would say yes. The rear has more leverage and the front will react faster. I think since I filmed the videos the best improvement has been spacing the upper link up. It settled it down a bit especially at the 3.25/3.5 belly. I will have to double check but, if I remember correctly, I am in the 20-24 oz difference F/r | |

Also remember that I have always run the rear lower links at the shock mount in the rear...not at the standard mount so the separation is not what you think...probably the same as yours but level uppers at a really high belly. | |

The springs you are running? I thought i read somewhere that you might start selling them? Aren't they softer than losi golds and axial blacks. With the shocks shortened i think i need shorter springs as the losi and axial springs have to much preload and i have the collars all of the way up.

Thanks Almighty Malach, but the way I read the post the measurements given are for the links after they are bent. Does anyone else read it that way? Thanks for the help guys, I'm going to order one of these.
