The set includes different weights and weight options, such as a rear T-stiffener that, compared to the original rear stiffener weight, is of an asymmetrical shape to create more room for space controller with the overall design ensuring no negative influence on symmetric chassis flex. The included floating receiver and fan weight can be moved 3mm forth and back by simply turning it around and to access its floating capabilities only a 0.5mm shim needs to be added between the weight and the chassis. To access the floating capabilities of the receiver and fan plate, an additional hole needs to be drilled into the chassis, however a respective drill template is included, making it an easy task. Also included in the weight kit is a small weight that sits in front of the motor and besides the servo mount and the whole set is complete with the addition of multi-piece side motor mount weights that can be stacked to achieve the desired about of counter weight when running extremely lightweight low-profile batteries. All weights are machined from high-quality brass material and included comes suitable mounting hardware in the form of two M3x10mm and two M2.5x10mm fasteners. Please not that the floating weight is intended for the use with the carbon fibre chassis but not the aluminium or CrossFlex chassis, however the other included weights fit all chassis for the MMCX.
