Sorry about that, It just seemed a proper location to me having it a bit further to the rear. It gives me more room for my thick fingers to work on it.
I just tried the truck again with a fresh set of 3S lipos. My batteries were empty before

That was the problem. With a freshly charged set of 3S, the thing is a beast and there's plenty of top speed. So with more speed I was able to try to get the truck to flip on it's lid when cornering. Couldn't do it. The truck won't flip. Beautiful. I'm going to have fun with this thing. Gotta make a vid of this truck running.
