I don't know whats up with mine, but I'm running it at 1550g no extra weights and I'm really enjoying to handling. Initial drive isn't as good as other cars, out of corners, esp slow corners, but I'm carrying extra speed so most people need the extra drive just to get back the speed I already have.
Could be that I'm running round tight tracks with very little straights so I don't notice it, or that I'm used to driving twitchy as hell, over powered touring cars. If everyone is getting more success by weighing down the rear, maybe I'm just pissing against the wind, but I have it set in my mind I want to play to the strengths of the mid motored car with weight so central rather then make it just more like every car, I realise that there is an extreme trade off by having the weight so far forward, but maybe I'm hoping for an extreme gain in other areas.
I certainly don't think it's even possible to make the mid motored car complete round some tracks, but I personally think that if a weights going to be thrown over the rear tyres, it may as well be the motor itself.
I'm sure I'll throw in the towel at somepoint soon if I reach a performance ceiling and I can't get anymore out of the car, and start adding weight or even go rear motor. I'm learning all the time. Just wondering if anyone else has played with angles of everything before adding weight?
