Thanks for the replies.

I knew I was going to get the question concerning the lack of a chassis brace and the angled servo arm. I will be working on a chassis brace soon. The holes to mount it are already there. As for the servo horn, as long as it stays parallel with the steering arm, there shouldn't be any issues other than slightly more binding turning left vs. right. I could rotate the servo 180 degrees and move it out more, but then I would have to raise the servo link so it deosnt hit the servo.

As for why I chose to integrate the battery slots into the chassis instead of battery trays - lower CG, less weight and more freedom for different sized packs. I am going to build brackets that will sit flush with all sides of the batteries and hold battery straps.
