AWESOME!!!
That's a way better way to go
just make sure you've got enough length for the batts you want to use.
I'm switching from 5000mah 4S 40/50C turnigy's to a smaller 2650mah 4S 40/50C turnigy's... I haven't ran them and logged the ripple current, voltage drop, and mah used before they hit the LVC.
So I can't realy recomend them yet, but they're shorter and thin enough to stack 2 high in a single tray if I want to.

144x42x25mm and 322grams. Should have no problem putting out over 100 amps.
Very cool on the custom chassis, I would say just start adding up wieghts and make sure your as even side to side as you can be.
You're off to a very good start!
