Smoke,

Good question, many people have been wondering how i maintain balance with my pan car. I did some measurement, the SS ESC is about 40 gram. GP 3700 cell is about 50g if I'm not mistaken. Next, i put my Spektrum ESC on top of my servo. Voila, almost perfect 50% weight to both sides.

5 cells are great because it gives me extra punch and top end speed without sacrificing my handling. it reminds me of Honda when they came up with V10 engine while others are caught in between V8 and V12 engines. Give it a try and you can give nitro cars hard time

By the way, I have transferred my GTB brushless from my 1/10 pan car to 1/12 due to excessive thermal shutdown (i have runned out of space cause it even shutdown with 122/20 gear ratio. havent tried it yet on track and i'm hoping that it wont be raining tomorrow evening. I hope that the power is still controllable or i have to play around with the gear ratio.
