Considering that the "team" are ballasting the back of the car to get the weight back up to NiMH levels, I would be more concerned with adding weight than shedding it.

My car weighed around 1800gms with 4200 NiMHs, that's with standard screws.

Heavy running weights do not seem to be a concern nowadays, in the not so distant past everyone was trying to get as much weight off their cars as possible, but now that power and runtimes are not an issue, the heavier cars seem to be favoured because they are less unsettled by the bumps. Xfactory drivers are recommending a running weight of about 1750gms for the 2wd X6!
