Any pics of yr car would be appreciated.
Envirobs, battery position is a tuning option. Since switching to 1S, I have seemed to prefer the forward position at most tracks for a more balanced feel, but I intend to test more. Just like with the NiMH cells, we use filament strapping tape and simply tape them in for each run. Use the supplied battery braces for the bulk of the support front-to-rear, and on the Reedy batteries, there are also little nubs that align with the slots in the chassis for added support. I have not taken any photos of the LiPo 12R5.1 yet.
Good luck!
