After getting back from the race weekend I have decided to lower the center of gravity on the truck. First by using dual 3s packs instead of one on the right side, in their own lower batt mounts/trays lowered about an inch down; moving, and flipping the transmission around and lowering the motor on a separate motor mount in front of it, and moving down more than an inch as well.

I don't know where to put the speed control, and maybe I don't want to move it, but as for the receiver box, I am totally open to suggestions as to where to put it. The Rx box will be a RPM unit, maybe above the rear shocks?

As far as I can see it, this way, there will be the perfect front/rear distribution, as well as near 50/50 side-side balance.

Does anyone have any experience modifying a Revo chassis for lower CG, and dual packs? I have two weeks to fabricate the mounts and do all that is needed.
