Battery in the front should give you a little bit more weight transfer to the front helping with forward bite. It should also help keep the nose down if you're finding it's lifting in jumps. But this can also be controlled via brake modulations mid air.

Battle just drills 6 holes into his side guards and with 3 zip ties holds the battery down. See pics of his car from the recent Euros.




Hope this helps.
