Counterweight with aftermarket FW in REW w/S4 TII rotors

Ok, so maybe this is an obvious answer...

For an REW motor, you use the auto tranny counterweight when using a lightened FW. I'm now using S4 TII rotors and associated counterweights. So...I'm keeping the same FW, so what CW do I now use? Or, do I now need a different FW?

I was taking a look at RB's site and it wasn't exactly clear.

Just looking for clarification so my motor doesn't rattle apart.

Thanks!

Your fly wheel is fine, no need for another one, but your S6 rear counter weight wont work. you'll need a S4 counter weight to match your S4 rotors and (I HOPE YOU MATCHED THE FRONT COUNTER WEIGHT TOO) front counter weight.

I most certainly am.

Again, the only concern was that I had to change the CW from the manual to the auto with the FW. Just making sure that the S4 CWs as they are are good to go.

Thanks!
