I've always looked at the B4 and it's strange weight distribution and wished I could move it around myself, I saw a quick dremel job that tris did to move the batteries into saddle pack formation in the middle of the car and although it had no rear end grip (as far as i know it was running on standard setup) it looked to me to be very quick and stable changing direction and ever since I keep looking at my b4 and then back to the dremel, then onto the gearbox to see how i can turn it round .

I'm sure I used to go much better with my hyper 7 but that was over 2 years ago and an entirely different class, so i'm not sure if it's just inexperience or the car since i always had a very point and stab driving style just like the B4 is supposed to like, but I'd still love to try something like an S2 as the weight distribution to me just looks far more 'right' in terms of where it should be in a car. I'm an undergrad motorsport engineer myself, technically as of next year but I started on homework early, and my housemates are doing the same course almost so theres plenty of discussions/arguments about vehicle dynamics
