That carbon fiber is .140" thick so I don't think I'll be seeing any flex there! It's insane how light, yet rigid this thing is. I'm definitely going to have to add weight (or go with softer springs). It's at 4.4lbs right now and the wheels just aren't planted enough. They float far too often. No binding or anything, just oversprung for the weight. As a result, I've actually laid the shocks back down until I can do so. Sprung way too stiffly when they're upright (although torquesteer has come back a bit. Tolerable enough, though.).

Wonder how this would work with a EMaxx tranny, locked and only one motor. Could cut the other side off for the second motor.

Just thinking out loud
