But it's not as low as bolting a 5oz piece of steel to the bottom of the truck.

And it's not as close to the centerline as inline saddles, or as low as the dual 1s batteries I'm using.

Frankly, the idea that I think is the best one I've seen so far is the conventional 2s battery mounted in the center. Some of the installs have been a little butch, but IMO it has real promise. It has the most weight closest to the center.

I'd do it but my choice of electronics won't fit without giving up the beam deflection from the plastic sides after you mill them out for clearance.
