I run the Losi type R. I made a bar of brass 1.0 x 5.5 x .110 inches that came out to 3.1oz. It fits under the battery, between the nubs. With a little weight on the front I make minimum weight and nobody can see it. I made another one, just a tad shorter, to fit on the top. It sits into the recess on top of the battery where the sticker is. It came it at 2.7oz. You have to be creative with it. Packaging was my main concern as well. I didn't want to handle any lead if I could help it.
