You can reduce this weight by mounting the electronics as close to the right edge of the car as practical. The battery is heavy. The way that you find your ballast weight is to weight the car and subtract from 53 ounces which is the roar legal weight. The top drivers at our track do this for club racing just to even the playing field and prevent any complaints. Notice there is also a transponder practice weight which is about .8 ounces. He balanced the weight on this car by using two knife points in the center front and back and picking up the car to see if it lifted even. He balanced front to back weight based on years of experience with several cars, a few of which we had put on the scales. I checked this car on the scales and it was very good. A little excess weight in the back (just like on my car) and very even side to side on corner weights.
