Im running a 4000mah 2s standard size pack. so maybe a ounce more then a shorty. but its cheap and with a 7.5 im not worried about the c rate.
Fair enough. It would seem as though that may be part of the reason some Team setups reference one of the full size Wolfpacks. According to the specs, it's very close in weight to the Reedy shorty pack I think.
Just for fun, I doubled up on the weights in my buggy. Buggy weighed in heavy enough for the minium wheeler weight. Buggy was a lot more stable and always seemed to have traction, along with good high speed steering. But......., it didn't like a change of direction quickly. Wore out rear tires a lot faster and a few other things. The extra weight didn't stay in there long. LOL.
