There is a far better solution if we are going chassis kits. It was looked at by a few of us a while back that we could move the motor and battery foward and move the position of the steering servo. The idea of this is to generate a 50/50 weight balance with a brushless/lipo setup BEFORE you add any weight to the chassis. This would involve the changing of many part including belts, rear bulkheads, etc... Mr FlyingFoxRC did some work in this area a while ago and I'm not sure how far it got, but if there is intrest it may be worth him finishing this. If anyone does go down the road of a chassis kit, then this should be their goal.
