Hi Nberga,
Experimenting with these things is have the fun of the hobby.
Clubs have rules that usually request a specific drive for a class of car. Check the rules of the clubs near you before making all sorts of cars that may not be legal for the clubs you are considering.
Sometimes a car is made with a sidewinder to fit a complete interior. Other cars are front motor drive for the same reason. The type of drive often depends on the body style of the car. Some cars simply can't fit a sidewinder.
Flat-6's won't fit in most cars as a sidewinder, so it is often installed as an anglewinder, or inline.
You can make 2-cars exactly alike. There's a good chance one will outperform the other. Figuring out why is another learning curve.
Sidewinders seem to have a smoother mechanical gear mesh if you can fit one in the body.
Have fun!
