My brother-inlaw has the same issues. Exept he has a long top- deck and his cx came in at 1500g . With my regular electronics and a 309g battery and body my CXL's came in at 1460g
before changing batteries. With my lightest battery my CXL's will be 1393g
Might be better to list out what brand batteries you are using along with weight...as well what electronics (brand, model, etc)
no one will have a definitive help without all the details. Perhaps a pics will help out also.
Also, are short packs allowed at the race venue you attend? Also note that most TC cars are not designed for short packs, so yes a complete rebalance of the car will be needed.
Regarding your brother-in-laws CX...when running the long top deck....an option may be to cut down the extra metal from the bulkheads...there is a lot of un-needed weight on the CX bulkheads...that is if the original top deck won't be used any more.
