Interesting choice of material - nice, lightweight, and sturdy. It looks like the type of material used in some cutting boards. Where do you get that stuff?

Yes, they are very nice. :)
The one side fits the body perfect, the other side pooches out
just a bit next to the steering servo. I really don't mind it, but some sticklers may. :P
I got the materials from
McMaster-Carr, possibly the coolest website I've ever played with.:) They seem to have everything, including all sorts of very nifty stuff and easy to find. Metals, plastics, screws, etc etc. Cheap fast shipping too. Overnight was $4. The 2ft angle was only $5.
It may be the stuff they make cutting boards of as well. Its stiff and strong and insulating. As mentioned, I got velcro straps from them as well to wrap around the batts for overkill. You may be able to see there is some room to wrap a strap between the chassis and the trays. I like the width tho. Low CG w/o losing clearance. Once I get the gears, I'll be able to take it out for a spin.
What gearing did you use? 14/51? How did you like that, or do yuou think it could go up a bit? Sounds like yours ran really cool.
