The new question of the month for May is: What battery position do you use? Everyone has their personal preference of one over another, both have their distinct benefits. Tell us which position is best for you! April question of the month was: What electronics (Motor and ESC) do you use? Thank you to everyone that voted. After a month of voting the results are in, the most popular choice of electronics is…
The most electronics (Motor and ESC) used for RC Drift is Hobbywing! This is not a surprise as many companies use Hobbywing products and re-brand it as their own. Hobbywing products not only perform well but is very reasonable priced. Due to the popularity of their products, some clone manufacturers have started illegally cloning their products and branding it as Hobbywing. Buyers need to be aware that such cloned products do exist and they may not be purchasing the genuine product. Electronics are important in the function and operation of any RC vehicle so pay close attention to what you purchase.
The second most popular answer was the “Other” category. We realize we missed some other electronics manufacturers, but what else does everyone run? Feel free to send us a message or comment below, please tell us what you use.

If you using weight shifting to switch. I feel the horizontal battery position helps create more of a roll in the chassis, and helps aid in the transfer of weight.
Yes you are correct, the lateral battery position will be capable of greater chassis roll, especially for weight transfer. Horizontal positioning can help better optimize weight/grip capabilities so there is a plus/minus benefits there. Just wondering how everyone else feels about it, thanks for commenting 🙂
