Hello.

Well, the main idea of the MiD was to tweak the center of gravity (COG) of the car to obtain a better handling.

Now, using lipos so much lighter, as you would guess, all the balance is gone. There is really too much weight on the front. We tried to tweak the setup with no success. The only thing to do is to add some weight (well, quite a bit, between 100 and 150g) at the rear, between and under the cells, if possible.

We are now working on 2 prototypes made around the B44 platform and the lipos. One is using saddles, the other one is using a stick pack. No car has been run yet, so it's still too soon to say if/when the will go into production.

Thanks you and good luck with your racing.
