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.
Your battery weighs 330g and you’ve added approximately 30g in weight. How much does your car weigh in race ready trim? I have the aluminum chassis, short shocks, ti turnbuckles, ti screws, ti layshaft, 300g battery pack, 20g lead weight on electronics side, low profile Sanwa SRG-BL servo, plastic battery stops, and Protoform Mazda Speed lt wt body and I’m right at the 1380g weight limit.
