I also want to spread the cost of the project and time over the next 3 months or so

However, I am asking about adding weight to the car, and more importantly, a basic overview of tuning with regards to weight and the saddle packs, and moving back to sticks when it gets wet/slippy.

From what I can see and have read...
With saddles, the servo weight seems to be reduced slightly, as well as the under ESC weight. Any difference in overall weight between Stick and saddle lipo is taken up by weights in the cell slots under the saddles, normally about 35-40g. Is this about right??

I run vampire lipo saddles which are very light (about 40g less than other lipos).

Thanks,
Mark
You have it exactly right with regards to the weights.

Although so far over here I have not found the need to go back to sticks at all even when wet. You just remove a bit more front weight.
