Standard car in mm4, saddles down the middle, no transponder but otherwise ready to race, total weight 1,575g with 61% on the rear.

As above but the plastic rear battery stop replaced with a Cream 24g brass one - 1,596g with 61.2% on the rear (expected a bigger increase).

As above with an extra 20g sticky weight added in front of the Cream weight (i.e. between saddles and the Cream weight) - 1,614g with 61.5% on the rear.

As above but changed saddles for a shorty, all the way back - 1,548g with 63% rear.

Shorty turned around 90 degrees - ~ 63.5%.

Has anyone weighed the car with a side by side saddle conversion?

Sounds good. What electronics and spur gear did you weigh it with? I think switching from say 87T to 78T spur gear would make a considerable difference too
