Default Re: 710 underweight-how to add weights?

Here is a q for the serpent design team. With the car being underweight, are there any provisions made on the chassis where you can ad lead to the car in a good way? The Xray has this beautiful weight system that you can add on... Anything like that in the plans or do you just have to bolt it in whereever you find space?
Looking at the chassis, I don't think there are any provisional spaces where the weights can be put at the lowest level in the centreline axis like the XRay Raycer.

Perhaps, you can get an excuse to put bling bling aluminum parts without feeling any guilt !

But seriously, do gas powered cars really need to be balanced left and right weight distribution wise like what you do on eletric cars?
