Is the car balancing better with the shorty so far forward and across the chassis like that?

Did this thing hit the track before you started hacking it up? LOL.

At least we are getting innovative posts -- not 50 posts of turnbuckles.

Curious to see how it performs. See ya soon.

Yeah, Jason Synder tried this a week or so ago. I think he said it was not really a noticeably change and it was better up and down. He is the OP on this thread, but has been pretty quiet here

Pretty interesting. Makes me wonder if AE considered offering it that way. Obviously they want to sell their square packs but this seems like it would be a compelling option.
