Default RudeBits 502 Lipo Tray with adjustable centre weight

A new 502 Lipo holder is in production as we speak and will be seen in the next day or so on Lee Martins cars.
The centre weight is adjustable as requested by Lee with 2 different weights for that fine tuning.
Will be available before Christmas and can be pre-ordered now on the RudeBits website
Thanks all

Is this weight essential to balance the car during jumps then, or is it just for bling factor.

My 502 seems pretty balanced as it is, surely anymore rear weight would make it back heavy?

It is not a bling factor.
There are many scenarios rear centre weight would be used.
Jumps, bumps, damp conditions or maybe just getting the back planted!
I do not run a 502 but I cannot argue with the expert requests of European Champion Lee Martin.
As far as I know, if he says he wants weight there, then there it is LOL
Hope helped!

In addition to what's already said, remember that there are lipos that weigh less and some that weigh more. The lighter ones might need more weight than the heavier ones.

Are they ready to sell or what?

Cool!

Sometimes I'm impatient!

I just saw a new update on my order... That's cool for me.

Next race is on January the 15th, so...

Happy Holidays!
