My question: would I be able to balance out the battery weight by mounting the electronics further out towards the edge of the chassis rather than adding weight? Should I even worry about the 30g difference? Thanks in advance!!!!
Yes. Try to get it as even as possible. It would be a good idea to put the ESC as far outwards on the chassis as possible and the battery as far in as possible.
