batteries like to spew out strange gases as they work. don't put it in the car with you unless you plan to use a sealed battery, or you plan to build a vented enclosure for it. also, keep in mind that all this talk about polar moment is kinda irrelevant. you've got this big engine/radiator/etc. up there WAY in the front of the car...moving a battery isn't going to suddenly turn your car into a Lotus Elise. plus, having a nice FR setup like we do gives easy car control...which is one of the top reasons the S chassis makes a good drift car. if you lower the polar moment too much, it makes the car less stable in drift.

i know this is way off topic...but whatever.
