I have been playing around with the weight and figured it out. The battery holders are too heavy. I also had to add 1 oz of weight to the electronics side under reciever and fan and remove the battery stop and shift the battery closer to the center of the chassis without hitting the belts. i am gonna make another battery stop and battery holder out of carbon fiber. I will keep you posted. Also this is with a 330g battery

update!! I actually used the stock battery stop and shaved as much as I could to move the battery close to center without touching the belt.

car is now balancing. It would always fall to the battery side.
