I need some advice from you guys.

I have an S1 that I ran this weekend in 17.5 (it was a beast by the way) and the only way I could get it down to 1380 grams was to use a shorty pack. I won a revtech 100c full size battery in a raffle, but can't find a way to get the car anywhere near 1380 grams. What's the secret. If I install a low profile servo and justock esc I only lose 15-20 grams. Which puts me around 1440. I already have about 95% of the screws changed to red aluminum. I previously used the car as a SS, so I never had this problem. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
