Another layout that I think about if I have short battery is, that you can move servo to other side, battery move back and use reciever and speedo to make correct balance.
But I dont know how it will be with weight distribution, I need to find some one with Corner weight system to borrow it and test.
this Layout isn’t really rear heavy.
I’m planning to cut a Servo plate to move the servo to the other side. The receiver would move forward right next to the servo and ESC right behind it. the Fan including the shroud could stay where it is right now.
A corner weight system sounds like a good idea until you realize what rabbit hole it is. replace the springs with something solid to remove the unknown factors like uneven springs. you can put the springs back inn to set the tweak.
