I still think that running a long lexan sheet off the baseplate gives you lower CG. But I like the creativity.

It's not just about the COG...it's about getting the weight out of the chassis...unsprung weight will always help more than sprung.

All I know is that I really enjoy wrenching on it!
Hardly miss the 2.5 Nitro Revo
Barely use the E-Maxx anymore

I'm with you on unsprung & rotating weight IttyBitty.
Can hardly wait for Erics Knuckle Weights for example

Yes, weight out of the chassis and out of the wheels. Put it all on the front axle.

I disagree, although this isn't the exact place to discuss this in detail.
