The actual balance will depend on the running gear, and the battery placement. The 2.5 oz side weight will balance very close with a 9.5oz Trackpower 3.0 oz base plate, 13.5 and light heat sink, LRP Sphere, Futaba 9550, Mazda6 and the car will be just over legal limit @1534 . (fairly heavy battery @ 9.5 oz.) And keep in mind that combination is just under what a 4200 NiMh would weigh.

or8ital if your off balance with a trackpower, then where is total weight at?
IF your unhappy with the side weight contact me for refund @ [email protected]. I've shipped over 400 total units with zero returns but there is a first for everything.
