That is another advantage I picked up when I went to the smaller 6s packs that I forgot to mention, and you'll experience it too. You can shift the smaller battery further forwards or backwards in the battery tray (especially if you put a bigger tray in than the stock tray) depending on where you want to distribute weight. This is yet another way you can get the handling characteristics that you want. Also, I put the tapered pistons in the shocks (10x1.1). With a lighter weight car pushing down on these shocks combined with these upgrade pistons, I found I could lighten the fluid in the shocks. I still have enough pack to absorb the larger jumps so the chassis doesn't bottom out and the lighter fluid lets the suspension flow more fluidly over the ripples in the track when all four are to the ground. I am very impressed with this car. I think it is versatile, responsive, and will turn inside many other respectable cars. I can definitely see myself racing this one for another season.
