I have a pack of 4500's well. Out of interest I've just weighed them both and the 5100's weigh over 10g more than the 4500's....I'd never really thought about the weight of batteries before.
This is why, when racing, it is best to use the same type of packs throughout the meeting.

Partly for consistency of balance, performance and handling - and partly because if you stick a different pack in, you might find yourself underweight and disqualified! Unlikely in buggy racing right now, easy to do in on-road.
