NEED HELP IN LAYOUT(suggestions pls)

[cornolio]

im currently finishing up on my project,and this is the layout im thinking of



most of the xt8 projects here have their weight biased to the rear and have their esc elevated from the chassis.is it big of a difference if i do it this way?



another concern is the clearance of the spur and battery tray,im currently using a pretty small spur(44T).im running a neu 1515 1y so ill probably need to use a bigger spur.this is the only place i can use the tray without seriously hacking it.

any input would be greatlt appreciated.im putting this on hold until i get enough info from you guys.thanks
