There is plenty of room in the middle of the chassis..
Thats alot of wire to get to the motor with the speedo in front of the batts though

I will be using a R1 PRO in it, so its a small speedo.....

It will be designed to work the best with a 4 cell pack or lipo in place of the 4 cell pack. After speaking with some of the manufacturers this week, we are all pretty much in agreement that 7.4v lipo will not be the way to go in these cars. We will be doing more testing and i will keep you all updated. All of us manufacturers are working together and designing our cars to specific platforms. We were all in agreement that 7.4 is not the way to go. It will be an option though.
I will buy the one that will fit the lipos the best... I wont use anything but my lipo in it.....
I can deal with cramped room, and use weights to balance it out or something....... Heck I dont mind putting the ESC on top of the little shock mount to keep the speedo centered...... IDK, I guess make the plans when the car actually is for real, and I have one in my hands
