Watch this ridiculously fast drone zip into the stratosphere in half a second - Digital Trends

This video will never get old. haha. It has gone pretty much viral, I showed this to a few friends who don't really know what quadcopters are, and they loved it haha.
 
The motors are tilted forward because at the speed these racers are flying it keeps their cameras facing more level for flight. Look at most racing quads and if you see the blades are flat like the bigger ones you will notice their cameras are mounted tilted upwards. On the little quads with the motors mounted tilted forward you will notice the cameras are usually mounted straight with the frame. One a mini racing quad where the pilot is an insanely fast flyer you will notice the motors tilted forward and the camera tilted up. Hope this helps.

Also allows higher speeds. A lot less air resistance, and different flight characteristics such as yaw authority.
