Julius,

Depending on what hopups you have added to your car will determine how much weight you really need to add. I have the Tamiya motor mount, DF-03 heatsinks, use the MO5 battery holders, have 20 gms lead in the front bumper, external motor heatsink and another 40 gms of lead under the battery and my car is 1420 gms easy. This is using a 4000 Lipo battery.

Later,

Calvin.
Thanks calvin. where did the 40gms under the batt go? I ran with lead weights stuck to the bottom of the battery but that prevents easy changeing of the battery...

All your tips are valued thanks.
