Not necessarily for mod. In mod you have more than enough power to move around a few extra grams of weight. And you are placing those grams inside the wheel base to counter weight outside the wheel base (the motor). I would agree, in the past you always wanted to be at the absolute min. weight. Not so much anymore.
