Default weights for LIPO

oi oi.

I remember reading somewhere that there are lead plate weights available that are shaped to sit under lipo cells and slot into the cell holes on a bottom deck.

does anyone know who sells these?

I've already got a stack of lead in the back of my b44 to bring it up to weight, but a proper cell slot plate solution would be a lot neater.

nice one.

how much weight have you added?

I only had to add about 40g in my B4 which 20g is at the rear in the gearbox.
Thats with the Reedy 5000 hardcased Lipo.

i'm running the trakpower 3200 saddles, and I've had to add 180g of weight - carefully tucked into the space between the cells, under the rear propshaft.

without the weight, the back end tended to hop about, and the car would nosedive over jumps. not to mention being way the brca minimum weight limit!
