I was just curious after reading a thread on here and have wondered this for quite some time...
I notice my 7A motor sits straight up, while a 5S motor like in our Celicas and my mom's old 92 Camry sits at an angle, sort of leaned back. I notice 3S motors also sit at an angle like that. Seems as most 4A motors sit like the 7A as well. Perhaps a motor series thing? but is there any advantages/disadvantages to having the motor sit a certain way? Thanks.

The 5s leans back cause it's cool like that and so you can fit a gigantic turbo on it!
Actually though I have heard it's because of the weight distribution and lower center of gravity, as well as it responds better to the torque kinda like the boxter type motors. --------------------  |
