Side by side packs means I can actually use 2x3S packs instead of being forced to use 1x4S like I would on a Tekno. Plus I won't have to worry about chassis balance when doing those 15 meter jumps. I really like the ESC tray mount because it will mean easy wiring and smaller chance of damage from rocks/debris. Plus easy access diffs, dust boots on all 4 axles and helical gears for added reliability.
