Well, I admittedly haven't ran my G2R in a couple weeks either. But I have been working on it (doing this and adding the single speed and such). I would have hit the track sunday, but I forgot to charge my packs..."doh!"

I would suggest relocating the steering servo to the other side. I can tell you that the motor weighs a heck of a lot more than the ESC does, so you want to balance it out that way.

Mine use to fly slightly nose down when I had an extreme front weight bias. I think it should fly perfectly level now.


If you relocate your rear body mounts to the rear set of holes drilled on that same plate, then you can mount your ESC on the rearmost part of that arced cutout (the one right infront of where your rear body posts are currently). It should bolt right up using the mounts in the kit. You just need to add a 5mm spacer to it (I just used a set of spare pivot balls). With this and the relocation of your steering servo your weight will be very close to 50/50.


I would also like to point out that weight distribution has a much larger affect on my truck than it does on yours. My truck only weighs in at 9.25 pounds right now, will be easily sub-9 once my Lipo's arrive. With the aluminum kit, aluminum arms and rockers, you are already easily a 1/4-1/2 pound heavier than me (when compared without batteries).
