I have a RCM battery tray on order to try just that. Like you said though, it might be difficult to get the truck to balance out. I have thought about making the motor mount so the motor is more to the side. Probably can't move it much, but maybe enough.

david lamontagn, that is a good idea, although I don't like the thought of adding any more weight then necessary. My nitro revo was 9.5 pounds, I am trying the keep the E conversion under 10 pounds.

Revracer, I made the mounts, just cost a bit of time You can get a complete hardened center diff at tower for $39.99. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJBF8&P=7 It comes with a steel gear tho, so you might want to get the plastic kyosho gear from RCM.
