How much it changes I cant say but with the motor sitting lateral it will either push the front down or pull it down and it will also effect rear traction. Anything spinning 25+k RPMS has to effect something even if its just a little bit!
Cam think about the rotational mass of anything spinning that fast and the fact that while you are in the air 20g of static weight will make a difference we all know that. The truck is not 6lbs while floating in the air , if that makes sense.
OK, this makes no sense.
What you're saying is you can adjust the SCTE's attitude along the longitudinal axis, but you can't on the SC10 4x4.
If anything, in theory, the SC10 4x4 would be easier to do that in BOTH directions, since the motor's rotation would counteract going one way.
With the lighter (and largely more centralized) weight of the SC10 4x4, it should (and in ThunderbirdJunkie's experience, at least, does) adjust pitch far easier than the SCTE, and roll as well.
Remember, both these trucks from the diffs out, weigh about the same as far as rotational mass that helps pitch.
