I run the ESC centered behind the battery nad the RX Batt on 1 side of ESC and the RX on the other.
Battery back resulted in lifting inside rear too much. I think the inline front axles actually turned better but again it lifted rear a lot. Since I have done a lot of little things to fix the rear lift so I might go back and try the Inline axles to get the Entry snap back.
I am also thinking of laying the servo down for a more direct feel.
