The ER-14 is a shaft drive, it supports shorty or saddle, motor can be mounted front or rear and servo/ESC can be be mounted right or left as shown on page 25:

I think the only limiting factor with shaft drives are the ability to run a transverse shorty layout, the only one I've seen do this is the BZ-444 and it would do better with sub-shorties because some brands of shorties were too tall and would rub on the center shaft
