That's perhaps the best test to try :yes:

I also did this for my rustler. I just used velcro to mount the rx and the esc. To mount th battery I drilledout a few holes and put a screw through the hole. I made a strap(made of lexan too of course) to go across and it would eb secured down by screwing a locknut on the screw. Wasn't the fastest way but It worked. You could always use associated battery cups(the ones the use for FLM chassis on rustlers).

Hope this helps

A 20 dollar walmart special jigsaw with a coarse tooth blade will be the best way to cut lexan/plexi that thick. Not really sure if that is the best material to use for a chassis... That being said I do have a few bombproof chassis and I know that MM has a fondness for clear plastic! As far as that pede chassis goes, use some 1/2" al angle and screw it along the sides to enhance the rigidity. You could actually ues that to make the sides for the battery tray... 2 for the price of 1!

yes, flex it til it breaks. if it breaks, its plexiglass, and better now than out on a run, with expensive electronics. if it dont break, its lexan. i literally took a strip of lexan and tied it in a knot, pulled it as tight as i could. that crap just dont break. also, how was drilling holes? i tried drilling into a piece i thought was lexan, but it was plexiglass, and it spider cracked
