Hi Guys, you can run the cells as a stick right accross the chassis, and mount the electronics in the front where the 2 cells would normally be - this will partially compensate for the cells hanging out wide. To put the electronics here you may need to fabricate a new cell brace which doesn't limit the height over the electronics somehow - something like on my X-60??
With cells, it is a fair amount of weight to hang out wide, and it does make the car pitch more than the 4+2 layout, but do try it. You might actually like it.
