Stick it to the underside of your shell...
Use electrical or duck tape to secure...

Damned few places on my particular chassis to place additional weights =
But my car doesn't need additional weight to make spec
Just to balance front to rear and for bit more front traction
Ergo, weights taped to the under side of my body shell... in the front
I have even taped weights over the front fender wells on occasion -
Everyone has their own voodoo
This is my voodoo
My voodoo works for me
Until I find better voodoo

I wouldn't suggest adding the weight to the body. You want to keep it as low as possible. I use the weights thst look like carbon squares. They are 10g each and fit nicely in places since they are pretty thin. If needed I just put a couple on top of each other. With the 10g weights you can reduce the amount you need by 5 pieces.

Use tungsten instead of lead.
It can be purchased in 15g plates, 1g, 2g, and 5g blocks, various size balls and even putty. Shoe-goo in place (you can put the cubes in shrink wrap, then shoe-goo in place).
Here are two shops that carry tungsten:

Great video of the VTA A Main at Indy RC last Friday night. Houston and Brian (RB Cuda + Green 69 Camaro) battled for the entire 7 minute race doing the old cat and mouse thing. I swear they were drafting towards the end! Good finish and applause from all the racers. We all went home smiling after that one!

If you asked about 8 minute mains before, and I didn't respond, I'm sorry about that. Must have missed it. I don't know the answer to why they ran a 7 minute main. Maybe it was just ignorance from the track Director. I don't mean that in a bad sense, i just mean they run lots of different classes at Indy RC including indoor off-road. He may just not be aware that he should be running an 8 minute main. I'll make sure and ask. When you pay to play, that 60 seconds more matters!

Pure genius. One of the things I love about RC is how we can pull products from so many different other specialized sources to fit our needs!
