I would have prefered they have stretched the front only 2/3rds the amount needed and then stretched the rear a 1/3rd. Granted this would have meant supplying two dogbones, but I think that would have been ok.

Anyways, will use it for now, but am going to need to do some custom TVPs to do a center diff mod so that the diff/motor is a bit more centered but leaving enough room to put the batteries inside the TVPs at the front.
So you will like my stretched setup. I will use an xl rear center dogbone and have a custom rc alloys front bone. I will post some pics of them, but basically it gives what you want, a center/rear tranny mount, and enough room up front to mount the packs.

Oh great, thanks... make me like jealous. :P But yes, my idea was to use an XL rear center dogbone as the starting point.

So how much for a set of TVPs? ;)
