I don't see a point to add weight to balance the buggy out of the weight is not really needed if you can run a shorty pack and move the weight to the center.
That all makes sense to me, but I have yet to see a B4.1, Durango, or Yokomo run the ESC on the center-line with a short pack and you would still need to add a ton of weight to then be legal. I like the idea of centering everything, but where do you add the weight back? There car seems like it would be such a hand full, a perfectly balanced hand full, but a hand full none the less.
