I have a quick question . I am just starting to get back into the US1 trucks. Since october I have purchased a few trucks. While I was cleaning some of the trucks I noticed the rear weights have numbers on them. I wanted to change a chassis from dump to semi and the weight numbers are different. Will it affect performance if they are not the same number? Thanks for having all your videos, I have watched most of them.
 
Great question that I asked when I entered the hobby! These are random casting numbers during the manufacturing process. It has no impact on performance and it does not matter what number is on the weight.

The dump truck has a silver weight that covers the worm gear and the Peterbilt Semi truck weight is doubles as the trailer fifth wheel and mudflaps. Both have numbers on them.
