Yet another Mid Engine XXX Buggy

[col1nw3bb]

Hey guys, im new on here. Been out of the RC loop for about 10yrs, recently dragged my old stuff out and am trying to get back up to speed. So i have a XXX BK2 and i normal XXX.

After reading on here about the benefits of mid motor conversions i decided to give it a go on the normal XXX. So far ive flipped the trans and trimmed the chassis. Also ive stiffend the chassis with some metal reinforcing bars and plastic weld (pro stuff thats used to hold car bumpers together).

Ok will get pics up soon but now its question time, excuse the crappy diagrams (and the fact its the wrong side) best google and my paint skills could do. Which one of the following laylouts would you say is best? The advantage to stick packs is my other XXX uses them, but then my rally weapon uses saddle.... I cant see a major difference in weight distribution from either design either...





Cheers
Colin
