Just check the corner weights with the lipo both ways and see if there is any difference.

That being said, I always run mine with bullets back for the shorter cleaner wiring.
On the packs I had , the connector end was 10g lighter.

So turning the packs around was like taking a 10g weight from one end of the car and adding it to the other.
I normally run the connectors at the front, but on faster carpet tracks with fast chicanes etc, running the connectors at the rear can help with the cars balance with the quick direction changes.
