I've just made the decision to strip my RTR down and stick to one car, so what i'll probably do once it is stripped is use that chassis to try a transverse battery before i dismantle it. Then i've at least got the chassis to use again if its any good! (or i can replicate it on the RDRP car i'm also running.....)
I wouldn't think a strip of CF on the bottom of the chassis would provide enough leverage to counteract any chassis flex. I would consider something along the lines of a dual deck chassis configuration...
