If you like, shoot me your address, via PM, and I will send you a nice little care package.

Unfortunately, the wieghted thing is not that open when it comes to sharing information on how to build a team. I promise you though, that will change soon.

Yeah, let the men play:rtfl:

Wow, 16 grams. How well do the figures move on the game board?

I suppose that's just a lot of lead tape etc. I'm assuming everything must be 'hidden' as well?

I hope this quote thing works. New to using it.

Everything is concealed. No lead tape is used. Not sure if it is allowed.

They move better, more true and consistant. However, you will get varied results depending on the vibration of the metal from the motor, board surface (field cover) and board speed. Remember, we only use monster/scale size boards when playing the weighted game. If you place them on a regular size board, you will need to turn it up to get more true effect. They can handle increased board speed---that's when there more at home.

I'm going to try loading up a base here and see what happens.

Caution!!!!!

Coaches I just want you guys to know that you should not get fixated on the ammount of weight, 10 grams, 16, or what ever because the performance of that base is more imprtant than the amount of weight.

Fact: I have seen a lighter base out perform a base that has more weight on it and push it back!

So a base that performs better then a base that has more weight
