Who the hell uses NiCD anymore?
and if you have 10 7.2 lipos, ya better take em back. Someone still owes ya .2v each


But seriously
in anything, generally the best thing to do is keep your CG (Center of Gravity) as low as you can get it. you can have a light battery if you want. its the skill behind positioning of your gear.

Default lipos

People use nicad-nihm cause their budget is tight,but if you think your pack is too light just add some wheel weights or stick-on flight weights to the front of your chassis.

imo, i dont think they are too light. i have 2 turnigy 2s 1300mah's side by side on my electronics plate up front and i love it!!! when one dies just unplug and plug in the other! and like stated before if it seems too light just add some wheel weights or weights to the chassis. .. .
