Did some weighing up tonight and thought I'd share

X6

Total weight 1760g inc weight added to balance up the front. As I ran it last week, this was with body wig etc RTR and with Mini Pin tyres. This is deliberately heavy as so far we've found we prefer it this way.

Front - 36%, 638g
Rear - 64%, 1123g

Right - 50.7%, 895g
Lerft - 49.3%, 870g

X5

Total weight 1650g with no weight added at all

Front - 43%, 712g
Rear - 57%, 938g

Right - 50%, 829g
Lerft - 50%, 828g

So this is pretty conclusive that stick Lipo's are the way to go for balance I think. It's really pretty light at 1650 on mini pins (will be closer to limit with mini spikes on), so I might add some weight to the front if as and when I think it needs it..

** Please note I realise some of those figures don't quite add up to the right totals but they way I've done it isn't quite as precise as I'd like but it's pretty close.
