Xray has that design from the factory, lol.
What I would like to see in a buggy design would be a chassis that has a Ti or steel plate on the bottom, 0.75mm thick, then a carbon plate, 2.5mm thick, on top of that to make it rigid, but keep it light. And instead of having the front rear, and rear front arm mounts bolt onto the gear boxes, have them machined right into the chassis as just little nubs that stick up and accept a eccentric plastic bushing. Sure it would cost $200, but it would last forever since the Ti or steel wouldn't wear through like aluminum, and it would be lighter too with Ti.
