The most ideal layout imo, is the JRXS-R. The motor is centered, battery centered. Doesn't matter how heavy the batt or motor gets, L/R will always be optimized.

If you raced stock on a big track it would be more benificial to have the weight down the center line. If you raced mod on a track with lots of straights into hairpins you would be better off with it accross the middle.
