Bad idea on having anything come out the bottom of your chassis, it takes way way too much of a beating to ever mess with... iMO you have two choices

1) side access similar to the e-revo but with a simpler connection to make a swap faster as plugging in any connectors (deans etc) takes too long messing w/ the wires and stuff.. it needs to slide into place and "contact" w/o any extra wires. I've run several long 30+ A-mains and even w/ just one battery swap it takes longer than all the nitro pits.

PS may want to have a body w/ the side cut right out in this small area to speed things up further. The e-revo stock body is weak on the side by design so you can bend it back and swap out packs, most are not like this.


2) create a top load system w/a custom body with a removable panel for access, the body in a small section would essentially be part of the battery tray in a sense allowing you to release and pull it up. The problem here is the body holding up over time as it too would be greatly weakened, but far better than your chassis being hacked up and weakened. If you are a good driver though and don't flip much, this would prove very nice as well.
