I have a question regarding mid motor.

It seems alot of pro drivers both local and abroad are going to mid motor setups. But it mainly seems that this is for High-Med Grip tracks.

My question is would it be beneficial on a loose-med grip track? I know less weight over the rear tyres will take away traction, but as our track is very twisty I feel the less weight over the rear will help reduce the pendulum effect. (Car has a tendency to swap ends very quickly) Obviously I would need to add a bit of weight to the rear to maintain some grip.

If it helps I am running Frank Roots Standard Setup with the following changes:
Full Size Battery
AEE 25wt in the front/22.5wt in the rear - Bump compliance is very good so I dont want to alter this too much.

I am also running 17.5/Stock class

Cheers
Will
