Default Spanish BJ4 WE

Hi all!

I´ve been around for a while, but didn´t post yet.
A couple of months ago got the ride aside an old gtb-vortex combo from a buddy for a very decent price. At first I tried to use the brushless combo in my XXXcr and sell the bj, but I gonna give it a try. I never raced 4wd so we´ll see until the end of the season. Finally I sold the losi with the combo and bought a brand new gtb 6,5r with lipo cut off, a couple of lipo saddles and lipo charger-balancer.
How do you do guys to balance the car with such a light betteries? I can fit some bike wheel balance leads between cells, but maybe won´t be enought. An if I just use lighter shock oil the weight will be way forward.
Thanks a lot!
Here she is...

I've been running mine recently without any extra weight, to me the car seems much better balanced with the CG moved forward. My car is also pretty much bang on the weight limit now with the Trakpower 4800's in

Thanks guys, I´ll try then without leads or with just a few in order to be closer to trakpowers weight which I guess are heavier with their hard case and more amps.
cheers
