This discussion happened on RCTech, so I'll post it here to see what you guys think. Family Member Martin B. came up with this idea:
The X - 6 motor is deliberately in the car off-center, 0.030" (approx) to the right so the rotating mass of the rotor is centered in the car. This has a number of advantages, which we like. Several guys have tried moving the motor into the center by putting spacers between the trans and motor plate, but most have found this doesn't help.
Martin posits that, when installing a shorty pack across the rear it should be mounted 0.030" to the left. This helps to equalize the R-L weight of the heavy stuff in the rear while keeping the advantage of the centered rotor.
