Update*

Thanks squee, I think I will just give it a try, and if there are problems to worry about them later.

I am messing around with the idea of widening the chassis to allow the center diff with a 46t Kyosho plastic spur to fit between the lipolys packs allowing me to move the diff to the center more for a better balanced vehicle. I also threw in a render of the motor slightly off to the side of the diff, this would drop the COG, but I am wondering if the motor heat will transfere to the lipolys packs this way even if I have my battery hold downs/heatsinks on?
