Ran last weekend with a shorty battery all the way forward with ESC between motor and shorty pack. I was struggling for traction in MM -- B5Ms seemed to be doing well on same conditions. I do not want to go RM because I feel it doesn't fit my driving style -- besides at our track MM is the rage right now.

I am running the latest Kevin King MM setup with new drilled shock location.

Trying to get more traction I decided to run saddles all the way back against a shaved motor guard. Electronics between servo and saddles. Doing some math I have gained around 50 grams of weight and moving the saddles all the way back has changed weight distribution to the rear -- maybe?

Anyways what should I expect from this setup change? I am going in cold this weekend to a big race and would like to get a sense of what it'll behave like.

Ultimately I am looking for more rear traction and decrease steering just a tiny bit. I feel right now my RB6 oversteers coming out of turns and just feels too aggressive for my liking.
