Default Just a thought

How come that mr. Strenge put the motor on the left side, when all other manufactorys put it on the right side due to torque?

because the motor inertia is thrown inboard to help try to calm the effect......no comment on the other manufacturers.

Preds are on the left, have been forever. I think Durango and Pred know something the other companies don't.

But Kyosho turned the motor around on the FS but still on the right hand side. Should have the same effect as durango and Pred, shouldn't it?

yeah but kyosho also copied all the other design elements of the B44 also.

there copy did not result in a better car, its 80% as good as a B44 and no where near a durango. I had a K car behind me on the weekend and the DEX was planted compared to hit!
