Yeah, one of the beauties of the Revo is also one of its difficulties. The shocks lay right in the middle of the chassis and take up some room. You can mount things over them, but it makes it a pain to have to service them, so I prefer layouts that avoid this as much as possible. What goes over is hopefully easy/quick to move

Also, the chassis is highly contoured and angled, so it can make things more difficult vs a flat truggy chassis. Worth it once its done tho.

I am going to see if I can get a decently matched pack of 14 cells (A123) from the 21 cells that I have. I had to buy another dewalt pack because I charged (by accident) the 7.2v part of the pack on the 18v setting.... idiot. If you never saw what happened Finnster, check HERE

I say I want to get the most alike (matched) cells because I hate balancing.... more over, when there is only a small difference between cells, the balance does not get any worse because of the LiNP chemistry (you may know).

I just emailed Mike about making a plastic case for the battery, hope he can.

I swear someone on this forum (or more) had a plastic case/box made by Mike IIRC?

I got my Revo 3.3 roller chassis in today. I am looking at it here, and am thinking about running single higher power servo to make room for the battery on the one side? Then cut out the servo mount to allow the room for the battery to stretch it's legs up there.

And if I use a single servo, what servo is the best servo Mike sells for the money? And if I do that, should I get the heavier servo saver spring from Traxxas?

Thanks.
