That is an idea....I had also been thinking about a possible method of mounting the battery from below - that would keep keep me from having to remove the lid to change batteries. But there are complexities around it that kinda make me keep from wanting to pursue it - if I had a 3D printer locally, I could make some cheaper parts for test fitting.....hmmmm....have to check into that.

Before I bought the lst2 I was gathering parts from the chop shops to build a xxl. It will be a while before it takes shape. Would be happy to lend you the xxl chassis and/or any of the other parts I have so you can look at, measure, remeasure, stare at, remeasure, etc. all you want. I'll need your address again though.

Hey, that would be great. Just need the chassis and side rails I think. Not sure if the end plates would be any different.
I'll be coming through Spokane on the morning of the 27th and back through late on the 4th of April - I could either pick it up then, or drop it off. I'll PM you on this, and send ya some postage money.
I ordered the slipperential and gears last night (thanks to my in laws B-day present!!). Went with the 52 tooth gear and a 10 and a 12 tooth pinion. 1:1 rollout is probably not attainable with this system - I'll be sitting at about 1.7:1 or there abouts......similar to how a Flux is stock.
The old lady is heading out of town for the weekend, so unless I find a cutie to drink with, I should get some time to get some concepting done.
