Not bad, but not very scale. With an RC, you can somewhat simplify a tuber for functionality and to save weight. But to make an RC tuber "scale" looking, you have to build it like a full-scale version, even if the RC doesn't necessarily need certian features. Good work, though.

Looks cool. I would find a smaller battery or move it somewhere. All in all I like it.

I think that one level is way too high. You pretty much took as much of the low CoG weight and pivot point of the truck and stuck it way up over the motor. I'm sure because it is rc scale it won't hurt too much, but that's really not an ideal design. I think the belly clearance is too high given the design of the body as well. The whole thing almost looks like it was put together upside down. I really hate dogging other's tube work as mine isn't the prettiest either, but that isn't anywhere near close to scale. Not a bad first try if you've never done anything like that before, but I wouldn't even come close to calling it scale. Sorry for the brutal honesty, but you asked what we thought.

Center of Gravity is not the same thing as Center Clearance. With that huge battery there, I bet the CoG is kinda low anyways... |

Run these. http://holmeshobbies.com/home.php?cat=1 If you tip your servo up you can run all 6 on the front axle. If you want something more balanced run 3 on each axle like you said. |
