I'm sorry I even responded once and that's enough with the I'm better than you stuff
Lets run some numbers shall we?
All numbers via amain.
22 RTR, 1499g
5600mah Pro-tek lipo, 300g
Car+battery=1799g
First brushless motor I found on amain (new Reedy Sonic 2) 180g=10% of vehicle weight.
Now, lets for convenience sake say that everything else that gets raised comprises an additional 2.5% of the weight of the car, so that the amount of weight being raised is 12.5% or 1/8. So being that 1/8 of the weight is being raised 1mm, it would raise the CG 1/8th of 1mm.
If you are that worried about the CG changing by 1/8th of 1mm, then adjust your roll center by 1/8th of 1mm. I'm sure you are a good enough driver to feel the change of putting a .125mm shim under your inner ball stud.
