Default B44 weights for Lipo

Used to run my B44 with NIMH's but have recently made the swap to lipo and the handling is not great, whereas it was pretty good before. Don't have the NIMH cells anymore to compare the weight but obviously it's now a lot lighter.

My question is how much/many extra weights do people tend to run on their B44's? By the way my car has the Rude Bits brass lipo tray.

Default lead. lead and more lead

Hi

i just cut down and stacked up as much lead flashing as would fit between the batts, the rear shock tower and the slipper mount, gaffer taped it all togther and velocroed it in.

Made the car sit nice and low and much nicer to drive.

Try the rude bits brass straps too.

Basically makes up for the lost weight and looks very tidy..

I also run about 40g of tyre weights (in addition) under the rear shaft, but I like mine really heavy...
