Default Lipo Sticks

I saw Henga is running a Lipo stick pack and has moved the servo to the left side. Anyone else done this? If so, hows the balance? Left/Right and Front/Rear.

Thanks
Chris

I haven’t precisely measured corner weights, but ....

Left to right balance is not too far off. I raced it
for the first time last Sunday and didn't notice any
drastically bad handling problems (there is obviously room to add extra weight on the right
if need be)

Front to back was a little tail heavy so I added
60g of weight under the front shocks and now
the ballance point is just behind the center of
the car.

It looks great to me. I really think I may do it.
