Rocket League Sideswipe is the mobile version of Rocket League. In the title, players control their cars and try to get a ball into the opponent's goal. The vehicles available to players have many similar traits but differ in terms of hit boxes. A hit box is the area of a car that can actually interact with the ball and the rest of the in-game world. It is also the mass of a car and represents its weight.

Therefore, when hitting a ball, making contact with the middle of the hitbox will have the most impact. To get a bit technical, if the hitbox of the car is not aligned with its body, the actual center of mass will not be the same as the apparent center of mass. This will cause cars to have weird interactions.

This article ranks all the Rocket League Sideswipe cars in terms of hitbox placement and controllability.
