Thanks in advance.
I know with all my gear, I need to add around 160g of lead to the car to get to 1500g. I've listed all my items used below

Orion Carbon 3600
LRP Sphere TC
LRP 13.5 + LRP Motor fan (the BIG one ~35g)
Spektrum Pro Reciever,
Futaba S9550
MRT iPT

I was until recently running Ti and Aluminium screws on the car, then had a thought that I might as well change the Ti ones to steel. So all the lower deck screws are now steel, with the upper ones nice blue alloy. Helps to keep the weight low, think I was able to gain around 10g or so of weight by that.

HiH
