Thanks, that was quick!

It's not the cause of your problem in this case, but it never hurts to heat proof anything especially radio boxes so close to the engine. Make sure the reflective part of the tape is facing the heat source. Reflective tape should not attract heat, it reflects it away.
Battery in the front should give you a little bit more weight transfer to the front helping with forward bite. It should also help keep the nose down if you're finding it's lifting in jumps. But this can also be controlled via brake modulations mid air.
Battle just drills 6 holes into his side guards and with 3 zip ties holds the battery down. See pics of his car from the recent Euros.
Hope this helps.

Wow, just curious, what is the flywheel that he used?

I use the stock clutch with .9 springs and some times 1.0 spring. I race at over 5000 ft., works fine. There is alot of things that could make your bell blue.
Work with the stock stuff and you will get what your looking for

Chassis Braces
What chassis brace are people typically running on the front of the mugen when your running a +5mm chassis, the standard long or the short option one?
By my thinking the longer would stiffen the chassis more and move the chassis flew point further rear, the short would move flex forward and provide less overall stiffness improving front bite and traction? Would the longer brace move more of the work to the suspension as apposed to allowing to help, the longer front needing the suspension setup to be more critical and relevant?
Thoughts or opinions?

I ended up softening the rear end (which fixed it) but i think the shorter links will be a better solution?

this may help:
REAR UPPER CAMBER LINK - LENGTH
CHARACTERISTICS
Shorter link (outer hole on tower and/ or inner hole on hub)
• Increases steering and decreases stability into corner
• Increases on-power traction slightly
Longer link (inner hole on tower and/or outer hole on hub)
• Decreases rear camber gain
• Increases stability
• Slows down the car‘s responsiveness

Long brace.
Short camber link will push it more on exit. I like your rear softening that worked well for me for this issue. Just laying the rear shocks down is a big help.

Guys, what has been your experience with Mugen customer support. I have send many emails to them including the shock leaking out of the box issue. I havent received one reponse.

Guys, I'm thinking of starting a blog about rc racing. I'll write about tips and tricks, race reports and interesting news that has to with racing. Mainly about 1/8th offroad and once in a while about 1/10 offroad.
I'm still thinking about a good URL/title that makes sense to anyone. All tips are welcome!
