Ok... here's the new project. It's not as far along or as easy as I hoped for but it's at least something to look at now.

I messed around with a bunch of different layout options and I'm not sure what I'll do. I have a pic of a likely choice. Choice of battery has a big impact on what to do. I have a couple other layouts I like better but it requires a shorter than "normal" lipo like the @100mm ones. I only have the nickel-pack-size lipos now. (135-140mm)

The parts are just laying in there... the diff needs flipped of course and the battery would actually be moved forward a little and to the left just enough to clear the center gear, which will be slightly smaller than in the pic.

Anyway this is one option. Another I like is a layout just like the Jammin truck I did, with the motor in front where the fuel tank goes... basicly just swap the esc and motor in this pic...

The chassis (main aluminum piece) is offset so it looks funny at first glance. Notice the shock towers or body mounts for a reference to the center. The side skirts are different sizes.. and the overall width is about 2" narrower than other buggies.

It's interesting to say the least.

Now we need someone to do a Magic buggy.
