Great video, and that car is fast!
If I may add to the other comments, while interesting and useful corner weights is only a 'static' measurement. To fully analyze the differences a 'dynamic' approach is also needed, such as measuring the moments of inertia. This approach is used in full scale auto analysis and development. Unfortunately not an easy measurement to make, although not too difficult to calculate predictions/trends. How that impacts various aspects of on track performance is a little more involved at times.

Analogous to rear motor/mid motor, in some cases the static weight/mass distribution can be nearly the same, but they still respond differently on track.

While I appreciate the scientific method.... At the end off the day, lap times are all that matters.. Period!

Loved the video. While inline maybe faster when the track conditions are high traction, sideways may sometimes be your best option when traction is lacking. I cut the side pods down and didnt want to grind on the chassis, however wishing kyosho or 3rd party made a chassis to accomodate sideways properly. Anyhow, excellent video

Hey I just tried the sideways mod as well with an rb6. And I do enjoy to added traction. I definitely notice way less steering and more of push soo ended up slowing me down.. gonna try some setup changes before I go back to inline

try the brass front suspension block (umw722) or some lead weight on top of or right behind servo.
