mines getting 64* with about 30-32 onces of wieght on each "corner" of my front axle and around 20-26 onces in each "corner"of my rear axle. not to be mean but just keep in mind "corner". (had a problem with that in one of the other threads i put this in)

mines around 6 3/4 lbs. but i only have 8oz in the front wheels but the wheels alone on my rig weight 8.4oz (running mayhem DP's with no BB's in any of the wheels) then the battery and my tires and servo are there too so.

As he (VCD) stated, in a different thread he made it sound like he had 2+lb wheels!!:shock:
Thus, he is weighing each "corner" of the rig which includes the wheel weight, axle weight & chassis/electronics/battery weight carried on each "corner".
This weight is almost as important as "what does your wheel weigh?"
A wheel weight may work on a light rig but not on a heavy one."thumbsup""thumbsup"

gotcha kinda like in racing when you use four scales one on each corner of the car to measure the weight to balance the car "thumbsup"

well we had our comp on saturday , considering that i am recovering from a car wreck and on meds i think fifth place ain't to bad . i did manage to destroy a pin in my rc4wd xvd's , it didn't break it actually started bending around the ball on the end of the axle !! i think i am gonna make a set of new pins out of drill rod . i bent the pin on the first course of 2.2 pro so i finished dead last in that class .

i got some from gunner. they seem to work really well. i got 3 pairs of cvd pins, and 1 set of axle pins for 5 bucks shipped. and they are very well made so you do get more that what you pay for.
