    Heavy back end?

    Does anyone else think the 4907 have a rather heavy back end? Does anyone have an ideas for balancing the weight a little better?

    The stock red springs are very weak, replacing them is your best option.
    Ebay has a bunch of duel rate springs that work well, AE MGT springs fit & Integy springs are good too.
    Look out for the tree/crunch!

    LiPo? Naw NITRO!!

    You can shed some junk in the trunk with the Violator fuel tank mod, relocating
    the battery pack to front of the truck and replacing the EZ Start with a pull start or Roto Start.

    Cool thanks guys for the ideas, I do have big bore shocks coming in the mail with a spring pack. I'll start with the springs to see how much that helps out

    Drop the EZ start and you will drop weight from the rear. 6 Oz's of it..... Considering the average weight is 10lbs that's a good hunk of weight reduction..... But you better know how to tune with a pull start though...

    +1 on dumping the easy start. I Did the same on my tmaxx also moved my hump pack to the front shock tower. Flys great in the air. not recommending a wing but I would put one on too. I just put one on my revo. It tracks and Flys better IMO. Haven't had a chance to put one on the tmaxx
    I dream of big block power...

    need weight on the front? try this mod but you need keep the ez start. If you want you can use NiMH for more weight or Lipo and is more lighter.(If you need help let me know)
    The other option is make all the suggestions said before my post. I change the position of the hump pack and it works.
