Right side
RF- 341g/ RR- 345g = 686grams

Cross weights (L-R)
LF- 350g/ RR- 345g = 695grams

Cross weights (R-L)
RF- 341g/ LR- 333g =674grams

Front to Rear %'s
LF (350g) + RF (341g) = 691grams - 50.5%

LR (333g) + RR (345g) = 678grams - 49.5%

Overall, I'm happy how it turned out but I'm not satisfied with the Cross weights. I got some more work to do.
Any suggestions?
The BL motor are lighter than BR motors. This is why your left rear is light. Add some weight right behind the motor.

You need to play with your electronics placement if you can and if you are under weight add weight to the rear. The Mi3 should have a .5% to .8% weight bias to the rear. This is the ideal F/R bias in a 4wd sedan.
