How does it handle with the extra weight forward? i know when i used a shorty stick pack (only battery i have for it) it lacked rear grip. so i added the tlr weight kit and felt better but it still needed more. so i went lighter springs in the back witch let the car swing and made it hard to get the rear lined up for the quick 180 then jump. also moved rear hubs all the way forward. I just bought a cream weight. When i get it i want to try it and take the rear tlr kit off the back. Going to also try and get a saddle pack and try that. i race on a clay med bite track indoors in the winter. i have a rear motor for summer outdoors and wanted the mid motor car for winterindoor clay tracks that have more grip. Thanks for your time.

With the adult sized pack you get the extra weight which can only be good.

How I managed to get it done was build it in mid I have a low profile servo which helps a lot, they aren't that expensive used so worth it to get the extra space.

I used the tank stands from my nitro spares and put them in the holes that were already there for the battery brace

I then cut out the x in the rear chassis brace/esc mount

After that I used cardboard to get a rough shape of the plate I will use, I hade 3/4mm plexiglas at home so I used that ( I may make a carbon one later or a shorter brace)
Cut it to size drilled the holes used some thumb screws and done

I may move the esc back and RX foward so I can get a fan on it. It fits now but rubs on the shell.

I drilled out some holes in the shell windscreen that are spot on to get some air over the esc
