Ive got a turnigy 5000mah 20c lipo and found it a lot lighter than the nimh pack (110g)

Jst wandering have you put weights in your car to compensate as I find my rat is not as planted or settled when racing on astro when using lipo. If I put the mimh pack in there a massive difference in handling.

I managed to get some brass (90g) and it acts like a tray sitting underneath the battery. I also had some stick on weights on top of the the servo but since then cut some brass (40g) and it sits undernath the servo to give a lower centre of gravity.

Car weighs about 1580g.
