why do people relocate battery to the back and for smaller one ?

[stacky]

seen this alot on track cars what reasons? also link to do the mod easy ? and link ot buy battery and all hardware to go with it thanks ?

More room for breathing mods at the front, and to put some weight over the back wheels.

Weight distribution.

 

[stacky]

so not a massive advantage really, whose got a link to a website for the battery and kit i need also an easy mod to do ? any guides

 

[mx1_champ]

yeah its an easy enough mod to do. but is your car stripped or going to benefit from the battery being mounted in the rear ?

 

[stacky]

yeah bare with welded in cage so got the link to kit and how to do mate?

People think it makes a difference to weight distribution. It doesn't.

A more realistic reason is to free up space to make the inlet tract straighter.

So you can run a change over valve for a chipfat track car of course........

 

[p@blo]

Weight distribution? Are you using a submarine battery? Lol

Pmsl my thoughts exactly. 'Strip out the rear and then add weight back in 'coz it's ruined the handling y0!'.

All about extra space in the bay.

As above, Mark fish told me the best place to relocate is under the passenger seat

Stacky, if you don't have a reason to relocate the battery then why bother!?

 

[stacky]

As above, Mark fish told me the best place to relocate is under the passenger seat
