Hi Cris

It depends on what cells you are using, with Trakpower 4800's and minpins my car is right on the weight limit and feels perfectly balanced. With lighter cells like the Vampire/Demon saddles you have to add weight to the top of the battery straps. At the first national with minispikes (lighter than minipins) and Demon cells I had to add around 35-40g to each battery strap, I can't remember exactly how much off hand.

I tried adding the weight between the lipo's flat onto the chassis but the car didn't handle right, I had to add much more weight to get the same rear grip.
