The more I read about your success with running more weight in the car makes me more inclined to buy the heavier saddle pack batteries now. Any recommendations on this train of thought. I realize with the smaller 96mm battery I will have more options to add or reduce weight as needed but if you are adding 150+ grams of weight to the car with the heavier saddle packs batteries that would require me to add 250+ grams to the car if I'm using the lighter 96mm battery.
Thoughts?

Spot on thinking
I think the combination of the TLR4151 mid car weight system combined with some Rudebits under-Lipo weights and/or their new side pod weights will really suit your surface and conditions - assuming you're going to build it in mid config of course.
We have been adding 75-100g under saddle LiPos in testing (our Saddles weighed 300g) so off course, with the small lipo we'll be looking to add further ballast as the grip comes up.
We were running at approx 1700 - 1750g in testing and given that the car can be built to run at 1500g with no weight and the stubby Lipo, that probably gives you an indication of how much we've been adding in total.
Hope this helps
