did a little more work guys. I got a sheet of 7075 .125 alloy and cut a new chassis for this guy. spent the weekend cutting it and drilling some holes while watchin football. it is 7.5" wide, which should give plenty of room for the battery trays to mount on the side.
only made one small booboo, the front mounting hole on the right was off by about a 1/4" so there are 2 holes now. not a huge issue, but no perfect.
and also the rear diff mount screws are a bit too close to the end. but i have a solution for that one.
here are the pics. i know its boring all taped up, but it make it much easier to sketch on it for holes and suck.
