I have a B44 running lipo's, it is basically a B44.1 but with the old chassis
Could someone tell me how much extra weight is a good idea to add?
Also what is the best place to put it? under the lipo's in the cut outs? or in the centre?
Will be doing most of my racing outside on astro
Any advice much appreciated

buy a 3 peice lipo cradle from associated and the ballast weight and drill two holes into the chassis to fit the ballast weight and use the carbon cradle

If you have the one piece lipo cradle you can cut the centre section out so that the associated ballast weight will fit there. You still need to drill two holes in the chassis though.
I don't believe that you need any other weight in the car.
