What should I expect in speed gains from running 2.0 gram wheels to running 1.4 gram MA wheels from dd4h. Also was unable to attend my son's district race yesterday which he won but was told in the finals on the first to runs his car was getting a case of the wobbles on the flat section. I know it's hard to guess without seeing the run but any ideas as to why would be great as we are getting ready for MA

Get John's MA wheels. They are fast. We just won districts yesterday. The cars were crazy fast. We would not have won without John's wheels. I will be sending the cars to MA. You will be disadvantaged if you don't have light wheels. I made this mistake last year. We need up third in the Bear MA races. We might have moved up one spot if we had the right wheels.
JT is the car set up to "run" the rail? If it is... one reason can be not enough drift "into" the rail means it isn't holding inward hard enough to keep the car from wobbling when it wants to once gravity starts to do its thing on the flat section. Of course you can't have it drift too hard into the rail either. But this is just from what I have read and advice I follow from the gurus here. There can be many other reasons that this newb knows nothing about.
For mine I made sure if drifted 4" over a 4' run and that was just right for our cars to hold the rail and run steady all the way down with no wobble. Worked to win it all at our Churches Awana GP.
Hope that helps. Many others here much MUCH more qualified to give advice than me.

If it developed a wobble it could be any number of things but probably your alignment got bumped either in the stop section or by one of the handlers. Also I am very new so somebody else may have a better perspective
One of our cars had a little wobble during districts. I did not have time to run it down my track. After the race I checked the car and the gaps seemed a little off. I tightened the gaps up to .015 in back and .02 in front. The car ran with will less wiggle and faster.
some times the car needs a little more steer. Every track is different look at the national race. I seen more cars wobble than ever. Just needed more steer.
