x11-chassis (vs X10, ...)

[Lowie]

I wondered, noticing that on the X11 the steerink rod goes over the chassis to the steering link, as with the X10, it goes THROUGH the chassis, ... is the X11-chassis lower then the X10-chassis.

Or is there another reason why the steering rod doesn't have to go through the chassis-wall.


Also 2ndly, isn't Team Xtreme thinking about a new layout, making the Pred suitable for stickpacks (as they once were, as I learned from Cooper's Pred-collection) now that battery's as Lipo and in the future maybe A123, LiFe ... make it possible to use the stickpack and still not having problems with weight distributions.
Also, he cut-out battery-slots could be removed, making it easier to keep the Pred tidy inside
