HI, i'm also new to Lipo in my B4... i always run in tracks with low grip (like Collegno just for example), and i always used to weight my "Nimh B4", Weight in front of rear transmission and in the rear quarters of the chassis. The car is good, overall good traction, steering and good driveablity!
I don't want to try a "light" setup, so my idea is to weight the car as it weights with nimh....

Now with Lipo i have to add 160gr. (5.6oz.) to have the same weight as Nimh, my question is:

- is better to place all the 160gr. very low, under the lipo pack (weight in this place tend to lower at maxium the center or gravity)

or

- is better to place some weight in the sides of the battery case and the rest of the weight placed over the battery strap? Weights in this places tend to raise the CG, but this can also increase the roll of the car and maybe more roll give more side bite and pressure on tires on low grip surface...


What's your opinion? It's just an idea, maybe i'm wrong.... let me know if raising the weights can improve roll or lower the weights is always better, thanks!
