Mine is like 1520 or so... Running a Trakpower 4900 with no extra weight, except a brass bulkhead.

When i run my CR. I have a fair amount of weight in. Off the top of my head.

Brass bulkhead (35'gs)
ten either side of the servo
20 on top of the servo
50 along the battery strap 30 front 20 rear
10 either side of the chassis at the rear
26 under the rear tower.

So all in all about 160 extra give or take a few. I think it was about 1750/1800 at the last two nationals

Default Weight issues

Thanks for the reply's lads. Had 110grm's on battery strap alone. Now reduced that to 45grm. Ive got 15 grm on top of servo,10grm either side of servo and 20grm under back shock tower. Wasnt gettin any front end grip into corners,so ive put 25grm in front of servo under steering arm and put 10grm inside front bulkhead.
