Looks pretty nice, like that Ofna body, its unique. Although, I always wonder why people always mount their stuff so high on the front. Is it bad to mount it on the back "Servo" mount? It'll get the CG lower, but will it kill vertical and side hill climbing?

You need shorter body posts in the rear IMO, also Thats a little too much crap mounted on the front if you ask me. Mount the esc in the rear

Can't mount the esc in the back, battery wires wont reach. The body is perfect because it lines up with the detachable front clip. The rear side body post cant be cut, because my powerwagon body wont fit on. Remember, this is just a mock-up/dummy body. |

The pictures above is a setup for "extreme" crawling because of the 3300 saddle pack and the weight needed. Here is another setup for "moderate" crawling with 1400's. They don't give out as much juice as the 3300s, but they do the job.    |

Looks pretty good except for the body... :-) And don't stack your battery up so high maybe.

I think you could take advantage of the P4 servo/link mount plate and maybe drop that top row of the Sub C pack down to the plate like this /--- And make some longer wires for the esc  But if it works for you than that's all that matters. | |

Yes. No vid ATM, will make one sooner or later. I don't think you'll find this chassis, because it's not made anymore (correct me if i'm wrong). | |
