Basically, the rear brace is backwards, though I am sure it will work fine(my fault, as I did not include any instructions). :)

I'll swap it around before the motor goes on. :013: Thanks for the heads up. Nice job on the mount, Mike, it goes on easily and fits perfectly. I set the front plate and the base with lock-tite and left the rear brace screws lock-tite-less for now. I'll adjust and lock it down when the motor is in place.
I could have probably forced the mount on without notching the roll bar, but figured I didn't want to start forcing stuff already. I don't think it lost much structural stability, it doesn't seem to flex any more than before I notched it and the motor mount slides right on.
Thanks again for all the help. I'm sure I'll have a ton more questions. Now I just have to decide on a motor and ESC combo to run in it. Any suggestions?
Oh and Brian, I'm going ahead with the batts to one side. It makes sense with the way the chassis is made. 14 stacked fit's just behind the steering servo with room to spare to the suspension. Thanks for the info on that one. Now I just need to build a couple of sub-c bricks. :027: I'm going to make sure I can accomodate a 4s lipo pack in the tray as well for later use. Tanks again for all the help!
