I haven't tried it yet Sunhuntin but I don't see why not. The ones that have the rear weights I think are just there to balance the weight from the C Cell so removing it shouldn't be any different than an engine that uses a AA with no counter weigh like the Shinkansens but I am only guessing. In fact, now that I hear myself say that, I have had to add counter weights to the FRONT of a couple of Shinkanses because the nose was too light.
