How does engine placement in a Custom Vehicle affect gameplay?

Solution 1:

Moving the engine will change the center of weight.

For example, a rear mounted engine will slightly increase the momentum at a cost of the risk of flipping.

If you have more rear wheel power and you want more speed, a rear wheel engine will give you that because during acceleration the center of gravity moves backward and the rear wheels have more traction with that added weight. Upon hill climbing, this can become an issue if you accelerate too much and flip the vehicle.
