Neuro: Where did you mount the 2 extra cells if they are not on top of the electronics?
I've got my 5th cell out back in the bumper but I'm bothered by having the weight overhanging the back but flipping isn't a problem.

Posts some pics when you get them specV. I'm working on a light weight Rwd car that will run with my friends AWD cars. Lots of stress on the drivetrain though and so much power that throttle modulation is difficult. I've always believed that there is rear wheel drive and wrong wheel drive so I would be a hypocrite if I went awd even though I want to be able to drift well. To shave some weight from my car I removed the body screws and glued the body together, used a dremel to remove excess plastic. Li ion will be a big weight saver if you can get your hands on some.
I'm using an LSD which did help a lot with power out of corners and acceleration. The inside wheel was spinning out of turns just like on my open diff cars. The friction needs to be low though, I'm using bicycle grease packed into the diff.

Good luck taking down the mini Z
