The main difference that I noticed was that I could adjust the pitch of the car in the air much more easily with the motor mounted further forward. It is also better on slippy sections of the track with the motor further forward.
Hope you find this info useful.
Regards,
Will

The effect you noticed is very much there but it is
NOT motor position it is to do with the relative rotations of the topshaft/slipper/spur assembly to the other heavy rotating components on the car, namely the wheels/diff/driveshafts and the motors rotor.
Some people prefer the 4 gear internal design (X6,MCS,SV,02C and now 22), others prefer the external idler design (CR2 and Scorpion) for this very reason! It was always my preference for the Scorpion design.
As with everything in this hobby it's all a matter of personal preferences.
