Having read this thread and not having tried anything else yet, how does my layout work compared to the low grip motor position and a shorty? I have the bits to run it forward motor and shorty like you guys apart from the 117 tooth belt, but at the moment I feel a little bit more weight on the rear would settle it down more, thats why I am thinking try low grip first. I have the shocks on the rear and a ball diff, the rear seemed fairly well planted but did break loose occasionally.

I couldn't say how it compares tbh as I've only run kit setup and the forward motor/shorty setup.

Between the setups I've run, moving all that weight forward the rear feels less lardy and the car feels quite a bit more agile ... even with a 50g weight under the lipo ..

I'd say the new inner shock hole is a must with this setup, as is the lightweight slipper ..

Apparently the B5 slipper spring works on this setup ..

I couldn't find one so I dug out a spring of my old RC10 Team car hydradrive setup ... circa 1991
