I don't like how they added weight to the righ side to balance it out. They should have designed it better and put a battery on both sides for better balance.

IMO, how 8th scale buggies/truggies should be designed is the servo (or servos), esc, radio, and one battery on one side and the other battery and motor on the other side. The center diff and motor might have to be shifted a little but at the end I would imagine it to have pretty good balance.

Adding weights only weighs the car down and hinders performance. It's like putting sandbags in the back of your truck in the summer...
