There are a few drivers here in Florida who have gone back to the original BJ4 chassis layout (but keeping the other updates from the BJ4WE) with LiPo stick packs. Because the LiPo packs are so much lighter than NiMH, they actually add weight to the battery side of the car. They also add weight to the rear (right in front of the rear suspension mount) to get weight distribution similar to the BJ4WE. The guys running that setup say the love it, and the car is still lighter than with NiMH batteries.
