Default "Big Mini" Mi5

after the release of Mi5evo, I had hard time selling my great condition mi5 even at dirt cheap price. I was fascinated and inspired by some Hong Kong with what they do with their old touring: the "big mini" (大隻仔) so I decide to make one as Mi5 has huge space electronics, It is a wonderful platform to create one.
look from top, there is a full size servo there, which mean even competition 120a esc can fit in with low profile servo with rx on top of servo. on the battery side, due to the reduces spaces, battery has to be secured in ARC R10 method unless someone planning to use a shorty.

this car was designed to use traxxas 1/16 body so I have to keep the wheel base to about 210. I am still struggle with the choice of front belt. Schumacher 140t will give a wheel base of 208~209 (I cut the chassis 3mm longer than what the belt can fit) other choice I have will be Atomic VMii belt (145t) that might fit into the car without shorten the chassis. I am waiting for the belt and body before having a racer cut me this finalized version.
