Nice build, I like the appearance and the layout. Do these rallygame bodies require a longer wheelbase than 1/8 offroad or are they the same?

Personally, I would place the batteries as close to the centerline as possible, to minimize roll inertia. If you switch the location of the RC and ESC, the COG will be lower, also reducing roll (better handling). Then the power wires look like they could be shortened a lot (less power loss). Further, I would check if the shock standoffs are stiff enough. With the shocks this far from the shock tower, they see a lot of bending load. Shorter standoffs or some with a wider base would reduce compliance.
