Have you ever decided on something ordered parts and then changed your mind? My indecisiveness has brought me to this point. What's your opinion on the following chassis layouts.
Idea #1
This one is pretty straight foward. Batteries one side, motor the other. Cog is just slightly to the battery side and I can keep the 6s as one whole pack giving the option of 5s capability. I will need a custom shaft for this. Motor faces foward too.
#2
This has symetry, I like symetry but it means I have to split my 6s down to 3s. Making a chassis/bracing around this will be easy and it all fits neatly in the existing footprint. I will need a custom shaft for this too.
#3
This one I guess is a standard truggy setup. Batteries next to the diff, pushing the motor further out and balancing the chassis better. I can make this work with available shafts. Downside is the motor faces backwards and it will be the hardest to make chassis/bracing around it. This one will be easiest to fit the steering servo.
What do you think? What would your decision be? Or suggestions?
