Oh yeah, it affects the handling.
I expected it to handle decently because the car is pretty close to 50/50 weighting. It's just a tad more towards the front. Anyway, I was sure it would handle better than carrying an extra battery on the rear hatch.
It actually handles very similar to the conventional dual cell mod = it flips all the time. I think, but am not positive, the front weighting makes it dive and tuck into the turns. This is just magnified by the fact that we don't hve propo steering. A set of springs up there should help remedy the situation.
Now if only QFM would send me my order...
Oh yeah;
Traction isn't really a problem. The weight allocation isn't too far forward. The only issue is the dive/tuck problem.
