Check the link.
I did move the shocks on the front of rear tower and swap the front C hubs around to make them 20deg and I am noticing a sharper turn in to corners. Need some more work in lowering the gear box even more and find a way to lower the shock tower too.

How was it generally when racing compared to the original rear motor position?

it feels responding quicker when changing directions,and it seems to go over the bumpy bits of the track better.
one thing i noticed with the motor on the rear is that if you eat the track pipes especially in the the inside of the corner wile going around it there are good chances that the car will flip upside down.
i find that with the motor in the mid does not happens that easily!! (hope it make sense)
overall it definitely better.
my mate that is a better driver had a go with it and was surprised about how the car was handling so good taking in consideration that my is not a pro job.
i did add longers drive-shaft and manage to lower more the wing mount.
looking forward to race this week to see if it improves !
times like this i wish i had a 3D printer
