If you're looking for a balancing set up, LEFTHANDER R/C has a couple of inexpensive rigs that do an adequate job.
Thank you, sir! I was also thinking maybe I can make a bracket and use wheel weights (for real car wheels) to counter the motor weight. I suppose I could place the car on a pivot and balance it left to right ghetto style..

I will check out the LEFTHANDER R/C you mentioned as well.

I wonder if these can fit the m-chassis?
