New Micro Owner

[DRock9]

Hey everyone,

I just picked up my micro and love it already. I put 1 oz BB's in each front tire, removed the springs, and relocated the battery so far. I have a quick question though...sometimes when I am going down hills the back axle gets stuck up in the air and won't drop back down to the ground and I end up tipping a lot because of this. It's almost like the rear tires aren't heavy enough to force them back to the ground so it just stays articulated in mid air.

Anyone else having this problem? I am thinking of adding some weight to the rear but I don't want to upset the nice balance I have right now.

Thanks.

try adding a little weight to the tires dont need alot but a little might just do the trick, everything needs a little fine tunning lol

a little weight on the rear axle will help. just like adding weight to the front to help with up hill climbs,adding some to the rear helps with descents.

try putting you battery on the rear axle, seems to help a bit.

3/8" lock washers--closed and reamed out just a hair in the inside--slip right over the back and inside of the wheel, under the bead lock ring. They'll only give you abut 2.5grams/each, but it's enough to note a small difference and shouldn't combat that 1oz you have up front.
