I purchased a peice of lead flashing, which is usualy for sealing stuff. Its about 2.5mm thick.

I had my first run on sunday with the lipo/brushless, the weight was perfect, handled like before with NiMH packs except for some understeer, which I fixed by pushing the lead peice forward.
I saw someone else had posted that they were machining peices from stainless, they looked really neat and clean, but mine is just stuck down to the bottom with cloth tape so you dont even see it.
