Project: Savage Flux 5T

[thzero]

You mean where I have the "receiver tray"? I thought of that, but discarded it because the CoG would be very high for the batteries, and its not quite long enough either.

I was planning on creating a battery tray that would sit just behind the 'receiver' tray but down as low as I could go and still leave room for the drive shaft. Also looking at trimming off about 2cm of the receiver tray, which requires drilling new holes in the TVP, in order to move the batteries forward some more.

The "roll bar" part isn't no. I want to run a Baja 5T body (actually one of the Proline versions), the whole point of this project for me, so depending on how it sits I may at least lop at least the rear section or even the entire thing.

Still also considering cutting my own chassis, but need to get a few extra tools (small table drill press and router.. .cheapo versions so that if they get ruined by all the metal shavings its no big deal).

But, can't the front section be used for a battery tray easy enough ? Curious because this will be my next project .

The "roll bar" part of the TVPs looks rounded over on the edges ?
