We are constantly moving things back, not forward. Yes, especially on high-grip U.K. tracks you need weight up front, and the U.K. guys have gone to the saddle chassis because newer, heavier LiPo stick packs put too much weight outside, but for most tracks we are moving things back.
We tested a stick down the center chassis back in '07. It was horrible. We had to cut out far too much bracing and the flex skyrocketed. Some may like that -- the plastic chassis sells well and works well on some tracks. But we found the experimental chassis just too flexy; so much so that we were afraid it would break on big triple jumps.
