Default For Engine Angle Doubters

For those who don't believe in the functionality of placing the Revo engine at an angle, the May issue of RC Car Action previews the long-awaited Ofna Hyper 9 (with an inboard engine angle of 25 degrees) and Ofna Hyper Mini ST (20 degree angle). With the Hyper 9 set to possibly be Team Hobao's rig for the World Championships, maybe the engine angle thing isn't just a Traxxas marketing gimmick!

duh its for the LOW CENTER OF GRAVITY which makes it less prone to flip.

actually it moves the center of gravity towards the centerline of the chassis much more than it lowers the center of gravity
