It really is pretty important. Without it balanced, the car will feel tweeked. And try to add weight as far to the inside as you can and don't just hang the battery way off to the outside. On my Core 5000 pack, I added 2mm thick strips to the bottom of the pack where it fits into the battery slots. Then I added some strips to the inside of the pack. I have the weight on the inside about 4mm from the belt. That put the outside of the pack a little bit passed the outside of the chassis and it's pretty well balanced. I'm actually not sure where I am on weight right now. I may need to add some to make the car legal.
