rtypec, This is awesome !!! I like it...
I notice you placed the battery in the middle, does it better as I have placed my battery at the rear.

Rtype: I like your battery forward set up. It's making me second think mine.
This is my first build in 20+ years and have no experience in F1.
The previous prebuilt and used kits I got, I eventually disposed because I knew I wanted to build something from scratch.
I am just wondering which set up would be better for indoor asphalt, medium to high temperature (Philippine tropical climate)... Battery forward or battery back?
I already know the answer is to try both set ups and see for myself... But I also don't really want to have to re-wire (re-solder) connections as much as possible.

Battery Forward
To be honest, I basically copied electronics installation with the battery in the forward position from FMW, RedbullFixx, and Vyger. I haven't run the 101 yet but my V2 on asphalt with the same electronics layout has been pretty quick. I'm in the same boat as you, it'll take a lot of work to move electronics around...so I'll just run it as is since ignorance is bliss haha

I'm a little OC and paranoid about the ESC not "fitting perfectly" on the side. My concern would be the ESC getting damaged in a crash because it would be "hanging/exposed". I have little faith in the shell protecting the ESC.
As it stands now, my Futaba R2104 GF receiver is slightly overhanging from the carbon fiber chassis. I am considering getting the R204GF-E just for the smaller case.

This is how I got my front end ride height to 5mm with standard Tamiya rubber front tires. Basically I just added an extra 2mm all the way around. I used extra spacers left over from various Tamiya kits I had built. I believe this is the same as depicted in post #271.
