weight is a good thing in my opinion, it keeps the car on the ground and keeps it flat through terrain, also the aluminum chassis is much stiffer than plastic/fiber.
ive had my fair share of feather-lights, and they all handled poorly (except my F1) compaired to my "heavy" nitro cars. it takes a little while longer for the weight to shift on a heavy rig, but they are much more sure footed.
I hear you there my friend!! I just dont like all the nose diving it does. I took my front shocks off this morning and verified they are working properly, i also adjusted them some more to the outer holes in the shock tower and inners on the a-arms seems like the geometry i sbetter now so this may help some, ive always been told to use the inner most holes for the tops of the shocks and the outer most for the bottoms but this time thinking maybe that is/was part of the problem, i'll go run it again in a lil while and see if i benifit any from it.
