Thanks Dafni. Yeah, that's what I meant; the motor weight.
I see you have 7 GP3300 cells in each pack on your version. That must come really close to taking up all the room from the rear a-arms to the servo mounts in the front! I am now planning to make another set of battery trays that are a bit longer to hold 7 cells each, but it will be really tight if I make some type of end tabs to hold the batteries from sliding forwards or backwards!

Serum, I am not overly concerned about the weight itself, more about the balance of weight overall. I found my Nitro Revo to be a bit heavy in the rear left side where the motor is. I've broken two shocks because the truck tends to land on that corner. I'm trying to make it as perfectly balanced as I can.

Is there any advantage of side-by-side cell arrangment vs "tube packs"? The only one I can think of is the ability to use beefier battery bars...
