Chassis roll vs. rotation.
I trashed an ESC a while back before a race, and ran a loaner. Didn't have time to extend the wires, so I ran it in the battery tray. Even with lowering the roll centers, I didn't like how aggressive it was in the turns. Mounting the ESC high changes when and how much weight is transferred to the outside tire. I find the raised ESC more stable, and easier to drive.
