Just be aware that as you add weight under the LiPo, it will alter the weight bias very fractionally.
Also, don't just think of adding weight longitudinally - where you place it laterally will also affect the handling - some may like it whilst others may not. Personally - I do - but as I've said before - my driving style and setups are not to everyone's taste but this year - comparitively to my peers, I am 0.5s a lap faster with the 22 than I was with my last year's car.
So I'm happy

Thanks for the suggestions. We are definitely running Schui mini pins (yellow) with medium foams and yellow stagger ribs and hard foams. Front rims are cut to remove all ribs and tires are mounted on outside edge but rim is still narrowed. Sort of like a 'muffin top'!!

Here is my current setup:

56 piston, 30 wt, 3mm limiters, blue springs, bladders, 2-4mm rebound
outside or middle on tower, middle on arm
25 kick, 5 caster, -1.5 camber, 0 toe
2-A camber link (3mm inside, 0mm outside)
20mm ride height, trailing spindles, 1mm spacer top and bottom

55 piston, 27.5 or 30wt, 0mm limiters, red springs, bladders, 2-4mm rebound
outside tower, inside on arm
3.5 HRC block, -1 camber, 2 antisquat
2-B camber link (2mm inside, 1mm outside)
middle wheelbase, 1.5+ on hex

I recently removed all the weight from rear of gearbox and shock tower. I had between 14 and 28 grams there from the beginning and much prefer it with no weight now.

I'm running Xcelorin 3800mah 96mm lipo w/ approximately 30-40 grams under the battery and 7 or 14 grams on or near servo.

I have Tekin RS mounted on modified version of the rear bulkhead for the rear motor car. Cut off rear posts and use next set of posts to mount right next the mid motor chassis brace in front of motor. ESC is bascially over the battery. Savox 1258 servo, Spektrum micro 3500 rx, Novak capacitor to stop brown outs on rx, MRT PT on top of servo, Trinity based Duo2 13.5.

I TQ'd last Friday night club race and finished 3rd after horrendous start. My slipper was far too tight and car popped front end on start.

Had fast lap in the main so I was happy too!!!
