Dude may I suggest that you remove your diff bearings in the front. They might fall off when you run.

If you run the battery straps underneath the chassis don't you think it's gonna affect your ground clearance?

Well try it first. If it doesn't work, next option is tape.

I agree with you not drilling your chassis. Did you know that you can have your chassis reproduced? I know a guy near you that can so that you have a spare chassis which he can drill and customize for you how you want it.

You get to keep your original chassis untouched.

I have never liked the aesthetics of a stick pack on a saddle pack chassis. This goes back to the 90's, when I saw an HPI Pro 2 with a saddle pack, next to an identical chassis with a stick. There are some nice looking LiPo saddle packs on the market, which look much more ergonomic on a chassis like this - especially when nicely taped and wired.

That's just some food for thought. Great to see your enthusiasm in this project!

Since you removed the front diff, what are you going to do to get the gear ratio correct? I broke a belt on my tc one time and the car went half as fast. Just wondering what your plan is to resolve it as I like the Idea of a rwd tc chassis.
