Best Chassis, etc for a e-revo racer

[jhautz]

Looks like a nice design. Like it. :027: Its very different from the other stuff out there. A few questions...

What is the size of that battery tray. What size lipo will fit?

How do you hold the battery in place. Some sort of strap or something?.

Is there anything to protect the motor? It really looks exposed hanging down ther on the bottom of the chassis.

The motor mount plate and and the diff mount plates look like they could bea easily damaged if you land on the top of a jump if you muissed a double or something. They just stick down and arent supported. For that matter the motor would probably take a good hit in that scenario also.

I think if you could come up with some sort of skid that ran down the middle on the underside it would all look alot more protected down there.

I'm sure Im not pointing out anything new to you, but I am wondering what you think.


EDIT: I actually like the top plate aluminum vs CF. It looks like a nice flat place to mount the Quark on and act as a GIANT heatsink. Do you think they would be available in both Alluminum and CF?
