Looking forward to seeing those too . How much shorter did you make the chassis? I'm guessing that was done to help the handleing due to the lighter weight?

Its 730 grams for a lipo 1/12 scale with 17.5 motor.... According to ROAR...

will your new bottom plate use a different positioner or smaller slots to hold the pack a little higher? or the 'weighted tray' may take care of all of this. i presume its one of the above or another solution since you seem a thoughtful and clever fellow.
but in the meantime, when mounting a smc pack are people just adding shims to the plate to hold the smc battery above the positioner or using a different means of positioning the pack?

Jason,
you mention the new chassis has a weighted locator pack for the LiPo. With the standard chassis on my RR with all my gear, with a body, and wheels my car rings in at 740gm already. (thats with a heavy weight body... I crash a lot )
will there be a light weight or less weighted tray to locate the LiPo that wont make us with heavy Rx's and big power caps (Novak GTB Cap) run too heavy?
Otherwise I am all for a optimized chassis for LiPo packs Anything that doesnt require me to tape the sucker in.
