How much rake? Weight distribution question

dP3NGU1N

I'm not running any further aero parts other than stock sport package things for now because I'm not sure how to balance the car without an expensive wind tunnel; and I'm not competing so I'm certainly not going to lay that sort of money down. I had looked into diffusers and wings but never pulled the trigger because I don't want to add something that I *think* is functional that upsets the balance of the car. Too much downforce in the rear making the front light and understeering or too much downforce in the front and the tail coming around are things I'd rather let other people experiment with and I will emulate their results if they are good.

As far as weight on the nose is concerned. I've been playing with the idea of moving the battery to the rear, just haven't gotten around to it yet. Seems like a simple enough thing to do and I've read several threads on it. I think one of them was written by you? I can't imagine what else you can add to the front though other than front aero to balance out a big wing.

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. I remember reading some other articles regarding corner balance and I recall it mentioning that if you raise ride height it would redistribute the weight. In hind sight it may have been describing cross weights only and not so much front to rear or side to side. I have no way to confirm this on my own, of course, so I hope others will chime in to either corroborate or refute. Thanks for your info!
