I had thought about shifting the diff a little further to the right side of the car to center the motor more and make the weight more central, but then I would have had to push the ESC and Rx further out, probably negating the advantages of of moving the driveline towards the center.

Would have also put the Dogbones at a larger angle so I decided it wasn't worth it. Its fairly centralized anyways and should be only a little heavier on the left overall.

So far its:
Left side: 567g motor + 441g battery = 1,008g
Right side: 64g servo, 15g Rx, 125g MMM, 441g battery = 645g.

But most of that is fairly close to the chassis center line so its not so bad.

Or maybe it is. Not sure how much of a difference it'll make. I'll have to see how it handles on the track. I still have plenty of room to drill new holes in teh chassis and move the motor over. I'll just lose the front chassis brace, so I'd have to run a tie-rod from the bellcrank top plate to the center diff.
