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!
Does look really good that install, particularly like the arrangement with the motor wires, very tidy indeed. I think maybe the reason some people prefer the electrics on the deck is just to keep all the weight as low down as possible, but how much difference it would make in the real world is probably not significant.
