Brushless TLT

I plan on running 7-8 cells on the xl-5 since it is rated for up to 8 cells, what if i split the cells ( 4 up front/ 4 in rear) or 4 infront 3 in rear and have the motor facing forward, i plan on doing some vertical climbing as well...I guess I will have to just toy around with it

SJ,
I would suggest that if you want to split the cells go ahead. You want a little more weight up front. Add some BB's in the tires. They give you the weight at the lowest CG and also do not put strain on your driveline due to them rolling. If you strap weight on the rims that effects the drivetrain.

I would start with about 2 oz of BB's and then adjust. that is one of the nice things about using them. It is easy to fine tune.
