Weight is a preference thing once you have got to the BRCA minimum were you put it and how much really depends, what one person likes another does not most go for under lipo,front bulkhead not to sure with yours as with a mid you run in a couple of places on the rear, but I have never run a forwards motor so can't help, trial and error and some advice from fellow DB racers looks to be the way
I have heard some people struggling with heat issues on the 22-4 on hot days. The new cab forward body helps as there is a vent right in front of where the speedo is normally positioned. Just weighed mine and it's 1836 grams. which is almost 400 grams heavier than my DB2.

Yeah, it will be trial and error. Just drilled a couple holes and fitted a 60G spine weight to the chassis under the prop shaft - from my Lazer actually it fits just fine. Seems most people are doing this - not entirely sure why though! Will try the car with and without.

I have a lipo weight but applied unbalances the car. Can't wait to try it out.
