Default Chassis balancing question

I know this has been answered before but I'd like a couple more opinions. For the record, I'm only asking because my search results yielded 2 answers and I'm looking for a definitive answer

I've got an L4 and I'm getting ready install a 1s pack and the rest of the electronics. I have tinkered around with which side to mount the electronics and it seems that if I balance the entire chassis with the motor installed, I should mount the battery on the right side of the chassis and the electronics on the left. But, if I look at how weight is distributed on the chassis and with the goal in mind of adding as little weight as possible, I feel like I should mount the battery on the left (2/3's of the servo is on the right side of the chassis).

My question is: should I balance the entire car (pod and chassis) or just the chassis but with the motor wires where they would normally be? Thanks!
