Nobody's given me a really good reason why they squeeze it all upfront apart from heat issues but I cant imagine that would be a problem - I think this is definitely the layout I'll build mine to! Except I'll be using full size saddle lipo's I think!
Still not sure about the short lipo... is it supposed to provide same power and run time as the normal size lipo's??? just seems a wee strange to me! Do I assume correct that you would need to add additional weight to the car to compensate for the smaller batter??
Looking good, Jon!

Cheers for the compliment Jon, if it overheats i`ll have to eat my words. As for runtime, 3800 MAH is plenty of capacity for 2WD, i reckon you`d get close to 10 minutes runtime out of one full charge so plenty for 5 minute races. Its 60C too. Running the battery centrally gives you the option of adding more weight along side of course but in truth, theres nothing wrong with saddles either. I ordered a couple of these as i tend to run dedicated lipos for each class i race.
