Takes approx. 4.5 oz. of wt. to bring a Mini with an Orion 3200 up to 1300 grams. Most of us around here are running lipos and have been for the last 6 mos. to a year. With the addition of the extra wt. our set ups didn't change much if at all.
Add 4 oz to the battery which gives you .5 oz to add to the chassis. If your car is pushing add to the inside of the front bumper. If it's loose add it to the back.
If I were to bet, my money would be on the lipos if we took the newbies out of the equation.
