I don't know if you are familiar with my PRP Swift buggy, but I too ran into a similar dilemma. I couldn't mount the batteries on the mud guards, and I didn't feel like raising the batteries. My solution was to get smaller batteries - they're about 35mm wide x 105mm long, and 40mm tall. They fit on the chassis behind the center diff, with the motor on the front-left floor of the chassis. Would this type of setup be feasible for your, or would you rather use the standard 6cell NiMh size batteries?
