MINI WEIGHT
edwintklee,
I currently run a MO3L with a BL system. My car with a Power tube 4200 pack weighs in at 1540 gms. I like the car at this weight.
When I fitted a Yeah racing Lipo, (200 gms) to my Mini, I added another 210 gms of lead to bring it back up to 1501 gms. I have found the car to be just as well balanced at this weight.
To add the lead, I used lead flashing cut into strips to add into the groove in the battery, this covers 150 gms and then I placed 60 gms directly behind the battery in the chassis extension, as close to the battery slot as possible.
The other contributing factor maybe the setup on your radio. You might also want to turn down the response time of your steering exponential to minus 30 or 40 so that when you move the wheel, the car reacts to the input slower and does not turn as sharply.
This works for me. I also only use 55mm diameter tyres, spice rears and ride fronts.
CYA
Calvin.
