I received the XXL chassis a couple days ago and had a chance to look at it closely. I really like this chassis, the way it's done, the way it looks and how stiff and strong it is. I'm not sure I want to change it as much as I wanted to before. So here's another idea to convert with a low CG. This idea would be very easy to do, just a new middle skid plate in 3mm CF, a new upper main chassis plate in 3 mm CF and a couple straight blocks for the new middle skid plate. Then there would be the battery covers I would make with 2 mm Kydex.
The lipos would be on their sides instead of flat. I chose to limit the size of lipos on their height to 35 mm so that the truck doesn't become too wide. There's still room to go a little wider though.
I put the E-Revo tranny in the center of the truck so it would use the same length middle shafts front and rear. I also put the motor up front with the ESC and receiver box.
The whole thing would be 200 mm wide and it would fit inside the XXL body.
