Thanks guys. What we were finding is that with the increased wheelbase over the 1/12th car, the weight needed to be shifted forward some to get the car to rotate throughout the whole corner. We got it right with them 1/2 inch further back. So what i decided to do was to take it 1 step further and crunch the for and aft weight distribution and make the car rotate more smoothly by moving the elctronics to the back to achieve the same front to rear weight distribution with a more centralized mass. This layout made the car handle the best.

Saddle pack lipo will become the norm and we wanted to take advantage of this. As i have stated about my 1/12th car, I always try to think ahead to make it so i dont need to keep releasing cars. Saddle packs are ideal to make the cars handle and i really feel that this is the direction TC will take and offroad has already taken.
