It might be small, but it's there (B), and it's worse than if it were, say, near or below (D). If it was all on the bottom (D or below) and in the center (between the two hinge-pins marked (C) it would be better all around and I wouldn't say that.

A lot of guys like the Exotec and use them, I am not one of them because I want to keep the weights in the middle. Certainly we disagree, but do you see why?

I'm in good shape today. Geo thinks I'm nuts for making the truck less failure prone and Marcus thinks I'm nuts because I think the weight in the Exotec isn't in the right place!
