Planning E-Revo

It wouldn't be unbalanced with a single side pack as bad as you might think. We just had this discussion before the forums went down and I weighed my Revo (single battery set up) with a (14) cell subC pack in place. Here's what I found out:

The battery block is on the right side. It's slightly out of balance to the front right corner by 3.25 ounces (1.7% of total 11lbs 10ounces). The rear is off balance to the right side by .3 ounces (.16% of total 11lbs 10ounces).

LF 2lbs 4.74ounces ----------- RF 2lbs 8.01ounces

LR 3lbs 6.8ounces ------------ RR 3lbs 7.1ounces

The (14) brick is about 880g. 4S MaxAmps 10Ah pack is 820g, the 8Ah is only 725g. So it may actually get you fairly close to being balanced. Here's a pic so you can sort of see the layout. The battery tray is over there where the tank and receiver box use to be.
