I agree, its hard but not impossible.

Does anyone know how much the main chassis part weights? I reckon the biggest weight savings will come from that part alone. The short lipo too will make a noticeable difference tho it will for certain influence the overall weight distribution. It will be important to counter this by finding a good position for the electronic components, tho I'm afraid it will be somewhere far in back, neglecting any weight savings with shorter wiring due to a shorter distance between the ESC and the motor, that would otherwise be possible.
