With your early advice to run my 16 XB4 with the motor in its spec kit position first over the rear position has me wondering about just adding the brass hangers for the extra weight.
As always Bentka I appreciate your help and thus sharing set up advise.

Balance is much better on the '16 and combined with a lot more mechanical grip in the car I would've rather spent the money on medium chassis side pods, medium chassis braces, 1dot springs, softer wheels (Xray 12mm) and a center diff.
We have never had the need for the brass hangers on the 4WD only on the XB4 2WD
Stock alu. RR+2 and RF+2 hinge pin holders weigh 7.7 grams.
Brass RR+2 and RF+2 hinge pin holders weigh 26.9 grams.
