I think I am going to try the shorty sideways. Right now the car is in rear motor configuration with shorty pack and I am not getting the performance out of the car that I want so I am going to try something different.

Work on that setup before you switch, the car is the best or there. Switching mid or rear with a crappy setup won't change anything.

Well the first thing I am trying is the new hangers and a rear spring change.
Running pink/f and gold/r springs
Right now the car pushes and does not take small jumps well, it nose dives hard. Over large jumps it is fine
Not sure what to do about that so I was going to change the balance of the car. I am running shorty pack as far to the rear as I can get it with the stock battery holder.

You have something else going on. If the car is noticeably pushing, you most likely have a tire problem. The first thing you need to do, is restore the natural balance of the car. Running gold springs AND running the shorty all the way to the back, will shift all your traction to the rear of the car. Move that shorty to the middle, and put your red springs back on, and the buggy will transform.

yep. that is coming from your setup (or you have a tire issue). But what you don't want to do, is set your car up for maximum rear traction, and then complain that your car is pushy, and move to a MM setup to try and correct. Make sense?

I run 13.5 and a lighter car is more responsive but can be twitchy. The added weight really help to add a bit or rear lock and finished a setup perfectly.
One thing I noticed after working on RM and MM setups (mostly MM) is how different the front end setup is between the two (25/30 caster, shim/no shim, shock position on wishbone outside/inside), going back and forth require a complete setup change overall, something to keep in mind while going from one to the other.

at 32/69 my car could lift the front wheels off the ground when the track was prepped at 80% throttle so your car has power to spare.. you wont be losing any races b/c your running saddles.. until recently it wasn't even an option.

Unless your running on carpet mm is not gonna make you any faster that is for sure...
I only went to midmotor because I was bored and wanted to tune something

I have been struggling with my car. I run on a tight indoor clay track, that is medium to low traction. When I first built the car the track had good traction, and I was using Capt. Americas set up. The car was great! But now the car is loose at both ends. The B4's have more rear traction, and can turn inside me on every corner. Im running clay compound Suburbs, or Clay Barcodes. But nothing seems to hook up. Ive also used every traction compound I can find. Every one at the track used the subarbs, with buggy grip.
Anyone have a good set up I can try that has lots of grip at both ends I can try
