Nice set up. Really like that servo /battery mount. Only thing i see that will hinder crawling ability is your tranny skid. Maybe you could angle up the front /back so it wont hang up. Again great to see some new setup."thumbsup"
 
Right

You're perfectly right. This is a very first attempt I started even without knowing about this great forum. The CG is too high as well and in an upcoming rig, almost everything will be different. Some parts are ordered, other's wait to be crafted. It will take some more month before it runs. There are no specific comps around my place, so I don't feel the urge to finish it. If I have a rig to go out and play with my two sons and one to work on, I'm happy enough.
