Try down your local tyre place, I just said it was for an rc model and they gave me a few strips of the stuff.

get down your local kwikfit and ask for some alloy wheel balancing weights. sticky back strips of lead. they will normally bung you a couple of strips for nothing, well, at least my local one did!

Just look out for a Scrappies van, then when he isn't looking, jump in the back and pinch some lead flashing that he has pinched off someones roof.... :P

I actually gone and bought a whole roll of flashing ($$$ ) and I've made cuts for my B4 and B44. I can do some cuts and sell them but have no idea what to charge. £5+postage/car? I'll make them bigger thane needed so you can do your own trimming. PM me if interested.

The one in my B4 is pretty much spot on 125gr and is nice and flat sitting under the battery so the weight is nice and low.

Does that mean you will propose it as well ash?

I dont think people are weighing the cars up to the weight limit ash, its probably to get the feel of the car the same so the suspension will work as it does with the nimh
