Here's an easy tip which you might not be aware of.

When you are trying to balance the car left-right, remember you can mount the battery further away from the centre line.

On the Scythe I think the battery is held in with tape - rather than putting the battery directly over the slots, move it away from the belts and closer to the side of the bodyshell - how much depends on the rest of the kit and the car.

Once you've decided on the best new location, get a couple of L brackets (Xray do some) and fix them to the chassis so you can place the battery in the right place every time. You only have to move the L brackets if you change any of the rest of the car.

Plus you can move the battery forward or backwards as well, but I've never found a need to do that.

I can't remember the ideal Front/Rear bias split for TC - maybe someone else can post that? I seem to remember that F/R (4WD) should be about 45%/55%?
