So I ended up playing around with battery placement today (with a shorty) and found that moving the battery forward more really woke my car up. I was running it so that it was even with the Ubrace. I tried moving it about an inch further forward, but that was too much. Car would unload and spin out too easy. I checked out one of the local fast kids and he ran his about even with the antenna tube. I tried it and it was very good.

Since I'm so rusty, I'm basically 2 sec a lap of the pace. I was able to knock a second off that just with this one change. The car reacted quicker, I had more on power steering (which I was searching for) and I had good forward bite.

I think I'm locked in now setup wise. Just need to start hammering in consistency and then maybe when I grow up, I can be fast too!
