I got some practice time in Thursday and Friday and ended up working on my B5M Factory Lite a bit. I was struggling with a little bit of front end push and decided to mess around with battery placement and actually found I liked the battery forward a bit. I’m not sure why, but most everyone runs the battery all the way back and I just assumed that was correct.
But for me, I ended up with the battery placed about in the middle. That allowed me to carry a little more corner speed and add some front end steering. I’ve never really had much problem with rear end grip on this car, and I still have tons of rear traction, so I’m liking the change. Looking through some pro setups, I noticed they also placed the battery in the middle for high-grip indoor clay, so it sounds like I’m on the right track.
That plus 1 mm less in ride height (23/23) led to a 0.5s drop in laptimes which was nice to see. I’m still doing mid-high Sportsman times, but not bad considering I haven’t driven my buggy much and it’s still pretty much stock out of the box.
