How much this affects your handling really depends on many variables including: track conditions, set-up and driving style. You can probably get away with more of an uneven weight balance running foams on carpet compared to any other racing condition. While rubber tires on low bite asphalt benefits most from a truly balanced set-up.

Yeah, I just want to keep my car as light as possible......

Your saying pretty much make the lipo the same weight as a round cell pack?
