So...just weighed 3 motor wires and a sensor wire...24g!

My thoughts here, that's not a huge amount of weight, and when in your car it's located around the batteries...which are a much more significant weight within the car and very close to the CoG. I'm not sure that 24g sideways is doing very much to upset things as it's pretty close to the CoG...but it will surely have an effect, probably just not very much.

Weights in the nose are a long way from the CoG, so would have a much more significant effect on the balance and handling.
