Default How heavy is your DEX410 ?

I've stuck about 26g on the aft end of both IP 4200 (with cut outs so they both fit flush with the rear end of battery compartment-slotting into hinge with SP GT 1.0 + fan and Spektrum micro rx)
....weighed in at around 1750g
with weight set and undertray coming soon should make 1800

With 50g of lead (plus the brass weights) I was at 1804g - removed the lead now though and just using the brass weights so I guess similar to you.

Problem with the lead is that it is uber tight when installing lipos.. which makes the chassis stiffer (not good)... Jimmy, did you find with the brass weight set alone it was enough ?

I had lead between the cells and foam - so there was still some 'give', but not a whole lot. I found the brass weights alone (or about 50g total weight) to be enough for me. I found the extra 50g didn't really help and I took it out to gain a little speed / put less stress on the motor.
My car absolutely flys. I guess the more you add to the rear the easier and more stable it might be (to a point) but the brass weights are enough unless you're running superlight lipos.
