Future: Brushless 1/8 Buggy *CAD Renderings*

The advantage of moving it upfront would be better handling, and I could drop the batteries back towards the rear more and move the motor more in the center of the chassis length wise. I personally like the design as it is right now, but I was just wondering if others would say against it.

Also, the steering assembly will be coming out of a Xray XB8, I like it because it seems to be low profile, and would go more with the build.

Edit* for those that maybe wondering where the controller and receiver are going to be place, these were to be located ontop of the Lipolys, and that is why there are such large battery tie down plates. These plates will most likely be made out of aluminum, with sort of a "cooling fin" design cut into them to help cool the batteries as well as the controller.

How about the steering servo? It doesnt look like there is enough room for the servo?
