Does anyone shim the motor for weight balance? I'm playing with scales after installing my new LRP flow and X20 5.5, and my car is about 14g heavy on the battery side. I have 14g in the middle that I can move out under the receiver, but I don't think it'll be enough. I still have another 14g to add, but with the way I placed the esc (wires facing motor), I don't have any more free space, except behind the motor and in front of the servo, neither of which are very far out. With 2mm shims between motor and mount, it's only 7-8g heavy on the battery side. I just don't know if that will compromise the integrity of the motor mount and lead to stripped spurs. I'm missing that schui motor clamp a bit right now.
