looking good so far, sounds like you have put some thought into it, are you planning to make lower shock towers, might help your cg some as well as trying to narrow it up as much as possible.

if i were you i would put the servo on the motor side and put the battery infront of the esc, that would be more compact and balanced

Yeah, the shock towers will be much shorter as to reduce weight and mount the body lower as well. And I played around with where to mount thinks.. if I were to move the battery over it would have to be farther out and not so close to the center driveline. I think it'll work well as planned :) thanks for the input!

try offsetting the center diff like in the losi 8ight, that way the battery is not further out

Yeah but if I did that then the motor would be too far out :/

Might want to check the HPI Monster Truck forum at rcuniverse.com. There were a couple of truggy, albeit nitro, conversions that used existing truggy shock towers and truggy shocks. Avoid having to fab your own unless of course you wanna. :)
