Now I have a couple of shorty packs, I thought I would measure the front/rear weight balance before deciding what layout to try. First I checked with my saddle packs in (all I had when building the car) and the forward motor position. I did the measurements a few times, so are sort of accurate. There is a small margin for error though.
Saddles/Forward motor F 42.3%, R 57.5% (1570 grams)
Shorty rear/Forward motor F42.8%, R57.1% (1540 grams)
Shorty rear with 40g under weight/Forward motor F41.9%, R 58.1% (1580 grams)
I thought the shorty with weight would be a bigger difference, not much more than 0.5%
I think I will give the low grip setup a try first which may suit me better to start, as I'm new to this type of layout.
