Yes, I've tried it on the track and fortunately the handling is damn near perfect (and I am really picky).

All 3 m18s that I've run on my track have had issues with off-throttle oversteer. We tried a lot of setups to solve it and it got better, but the only way we ever truly solved it was adding weight to the back of the car. But who wants to carry extra weight around?

Now with this new setup I guess everything is moved back enough that it is perfectly balanced as is. Everything is moved back slightly, not really a lot, but it is surprising how much difference it made. Plus all the weight is about as centralized as it can get which theoretically improves manuverability.

With open wheels, ya pay a bigger price for grazing the wall or another car.
