Usually I drive on my DEX210 on dusty clay, sand and medium bite astroturf - that's why the battery is completely in the back. That, and my ESC is so big it doesn't fit anywhere else!

I have an idea though: I could make a lexan sheet with the length of a stick pack. On that I could fit the ESC and a battery stopper. I can then swap this around so the battery is either fitted at the front or the back.

Would this be too extreme a change in weight balance (In other words, am I better off chucking some weight under the servo?) or is it worth a shot?
I also noticed that you don't run any weight up front at all. We mainly race on carpet with slicks, so it might be a different story, but we always have 24g under the servo, 20g on the servo and 5g in the bulkhead. Found that this helps a lot. If you look at how Joern is running the 210 he has a 64g front bulkhead and then some weight on top of the servo when running on carpet. Personally I think that is too much, at least for us mere mortals....
This is also with a full stick pack.
The only time I have gotten this car to work well with a shorty has been with the 64g bulkhead and the shorty in the back, at least on carpet.
