Very cool!!

I have a Caster EX-1R that I could part with if anyone is looking for a cheap buggy to convert.

Great layout Krio! Really like how you moved just about everything to optimize weight distribution.

What are you using for lipo's? IE: Two 3000's in parallel? Optional single 6000mah placement on one side? Or does that mess with the balance?

The ability to do this is another bonus, but since most people hate the idea of saddle packs we tuned the car with a single ~6000 mah stick pack on the opposite side of the motor. This setup, with the esc and radio box on the motor side, is only 30-45 grams off left to right with a 540 4-pole and close to dead on with a 550 4-pole. You can also use two shorty packs in parallel for insane run times while staying roar legal and I think I might even try running two full size stick packs in parallel (10,000+ mah) in the near future just so I know what all the battery layout options feel like. As an added bonus I wouldn't have to charge my car all day.
