Weight up front.
 
I was going to move my battery to the front, but first I took the stock rims off the front and put on a set of beadlecks with weights on the inside. Man what a diffrenst a couple pounds up front can do. It crawles 10X better then it did in stock weight. Still thinking of moveing the battery to the front, I dont think it will hurt any thing.

weight up front = definitely a good thing (duh)

BUT you gotta watch lightening up the back too much, you will suffer on descents.

If you move your battery forward, it probably wouldnt hurt to throw a few oz's of weight in the rear wheels as well.

I moved my battery up front just cause its easier to get to when you need a charge. I also put a lot of weight in the front, 6-7 ounces in the front and 2 ounces in the rear. I also have a spare battery so i just put it in the stock battery tray to keep it down on descents. Crawls pretty good!

My brother has like 8-9 ounces up front, its ridiculous. If he had better tires hed do some amazing things. Ill get a picture of what would normally be a rollover instance!

I did it in mine and I rolled, even with weight up front. The extra makes a big difference!

Was running 5 in the front & 2 in the rear. Recently switched to 7 in the front & 4 in the rear. Made a noticeable difference, my battery is up front also.
