Alright then. 1st pic shows the car balanced on some flathead screws (the way I always do it cause I am cheap) Unfortunately its does not show the wheels all that well but if anybody thinks I am making this up too bad.

The next pic shows the car on the balance posts, balanced, and the chunk of cleaning goop i used to get it perfectly balanced. Note how close to the centreline the goop actually is.

The next pic shows how much weight I needed to use to get it perfectly balanced.

The last pic shows my car bone stock ready to race minus fuel and airfilter.

Anybody who has ever raced an RC car knows that putting 13g on the car to get it balanced is considered to be a WELL balanced car from the box.
