So back to this center line mounting of the esc.
- I can see how the car may react faster
- I can see how it might be easier to correct in the air.
- I do not see how it would land better.
I think about it like this. if I put a weight at the end of a 6 foot stick, it takes more energy to move it from point A to point B. If I move the weight much closer to me, it would require less energy to move it. I am referring to circular movement not linear. I always looked at the triangles like that. Weight out from center would calm the car down in bumps that tilt the chassis from left to right. And would also slow down the car when changing directions. But land jumps is a downward force, so how center line mounting would help, makes no sense to me.

Correct. Small holes take the plastic plug off with a exacto run the wires threw then slide the plug back on.

I would assume when landing a jump off center the buggy will roll back to center quicker on landing.
I tried my ESC in front of the battery a while back & really didnt like it. I think that had more to do with not having a sensor wire long enough & not spending the time to work on settings. Some time in the next month or 2 (last 2 points series races coming up close together so no time for setup changes before them) I plan on trying the ESC behind the battery with a sensor wire. Honestly I don't think I will like it as that moves the battery farther forward than I want. I will also pick up a longer sensor wire on my next order & try it in front of the battery again.

Hope your also using the Losi ball stud , if your using the Ae stud & the Losi ball cup ?
way tight & bind bad ....
BTW
If you did use the Ae stud and they are not binding ?
The losi cups are already worn out & and most likely the ball studs as well... ...
Switch to RPM & Ae stud , more betta
PS get your hex's hubs on there , whats the hold up ?

i definitely popped more links when i was running the rpm
not using hex fronts because i have too many front bearing wheels/tires. i also share the front wheels with my gold pan rc10
Still can't believe how

The reason the car lands better is due to the weight being in the centerline. Having weight on the extremeties of the chassis tends to transfer weight more so than the centered setup. The weight stays in the middle and returns there quicker when jumping angled or slightly whipped. It just allows the car to settle quicker, to keep it simple.
