I am considering switching to a Tamiya TRF416X with the lipo-kit from Tamiya. I have some questions though:

How much weight do you (roughly estimated) have to put on the car, to get it balanced left to right? Everytime I see someone with a Tamiya, they have a ton of weight added to the side of their lipo. Is all that just to get it balanced, or for bringing the car up to the weight-limit? With my Xray I almost don't need any weight to get it balanced.
The weight-limit where I race is 1350g. Is it possible to get it close to that?

With the lipo-kit from Tamiya (with the Lipo chassis), can I flip the belts, in order to push the electronics more towards the center?

In my Xray I've got ECS drive shafts. Is something similar required getting for the Tamiya, or are the stock drive shafts good enough?
