I went 10.5, shorty, esc, Rx and servo in my Mod buggy. My shorty is inline backed up against the bolt-on battery stop.

After the 3 first packs it runs really well with dirtwebs at Cruizin, no plans to move it anytime soon. Time to try more tires.
I don't have a fan on the motor, which battery stop are you talk about exactly? I ran the weekend with the battery sideways and loved it. Tried it inline for the first half of my first practice session in the morning and went sideways during the same run to have an even evaluation while tires/track were still the same and the car just was better for me. The back end didn't want to rotate as much and it took away some steering which I liked
