Sorry - I have been asked about weight so so much!
In Touring cars where it's flat the cars need to be light - as light as they can get them within the limit - I think anyone that has done touring cars would agree with me........so in the off road class if the track is very flat and note the word 'very' flat and you can put down the power without wheelies everywhere then lighter could be quicker and please note the word 'could' be quicker. I run in practice both weights so I know what feels the better for me. The majority of the time I end up with the heavier weight especially if it's bumpy. If no bumps then I try to run lighter but all this seems to do is make the car more difficult to drive - the benefit of lighter in my opinion does not out weigh the fact that heavier is easier and results in less errors etc etc .
By the way, I run the lighter servo weight with the lighter under lipo weight and the heavier with the heavier - the balance therefore stays very similar

Hope it all makes sence
