I have my battery in the front of my comp vandal. As long as I run a chopper its great. It really helped my handling and completely changed how the boat acts.

I agree with above. My battery was in the back for a couple runs, then I moved it to the front. Huge improvement in handling. Mostly due to counterbalance from my heavy motor.
