Indeed. With my Tekin stuff and GensAce 5300mAh soft pack, I'm close to balanced both left and right and front to back. When adding the brake servo and mechanics, I am obviously adding weight left and rear.

The article by Tekno (below) talks about getting this balance. For me, it may require getting a slightly lighter battery if I wanted to counter the left/right imbalance from the added weight of the brakes/servo. Front to rear would still be slightly affected though. Would just be a matter of adjusting the suspension to accommodate the additional weight (springs, shock positions, roll centers, etc.)
