I'm dead set on the Savage now, it sounds like a much better basher than my Emaxx could be.
I couldn't find a link to the twin force trays on the site, do you have a link?
Whats the difference between the Twin force ones, and an emaxx chassis cut into trays? I already have TC3 trays from a previous project, might use them. They're designed for 7 cells. Hmm. They're graphite as well so fairly light.
Motor mount is in..18/49 (whats on there now) is a a tiny bit tight on the mesh, so I ordered a 47t spur. It seems fairly secure, and I've added a lexan strip under the rear of the motor so it can't flex downwards. Has a nice low CoG as well so far. I modified the nitro engine purple plate bit so I could run it on the underside of the struts that hold it in place, and then put a small groove into it so the dogbone still runs to the rear diff okay (i did this after the pic though).
Do you guys think the mount will be secure where it is? Its held in with the two chunky screws. Unfortunately I had to position it quite close to the edge of the plate, but I don't think it'll bend. Might make another brace for the plate up that side out some scrap alloy.
