I didn't use any formula for mine, I just added weight until it felt right. It was 3 ounces before I was happy with the handling, but I may add more next time we race.

I put 1.5 ounces of lead wheel weights down each side of the battery box in the center of the battery area to duplicate the wieght distribution as close as possible.
I would think it can work without adding weight, but you would need one or two softer springs in the front and two or three softer in back, I don't think they go that light? Lighter oil would be easy enough if the right springs were available.


Seems easier to just add some weight since the truck is great with NiMh batteries.
