I never had intention of limiting my setup because of battery position, but do like to have good balance, and cross weights make me feel better due to ride height adjustment being much easier to measure. I figure a 30g difference between left and right tires at either front or rear is significant. I would like to get it closer to 10g, but I guess it might not be much, considering it's only probably a turn on each ride height screw to correct. Just feels dirty. ;-)

Thanks again for your advice.
Haha, sorry if it came across a little harsh! Try moving the pack of cells in flush to the chassis edge if you can, might be surprised by it. I know when I was playing with balance before, even moving the cells 0.5mm L-R can really affect the car.
