Anyone thought about this? I think Serum has, but I'm not sure. Although it's not released yet, I think Mr. Constructor (on another forum) is making a chassis like what you would see on a truggy (or something like it).

It would be neat if I were to try it out. My Savage is just laying in my garage with some stock TVPs that are about 6in. wide in the middle (they are bent outwards). Since most of my other projects are somewhat extreme, why not make an even more extreme Savage? Basically, I'm looking at replacing the purple aluminum plates (skid plates?) with a chassis. The idea with this chassis will be sort of like a truss bridge, where the chassis plate is like the part of a bridge you would go on, and then there would be vertical supports mounting to the chassis plate and to the bulkheads (where the stock TVPs would mount). The motor would be put on the chassis for a really low CG, and the batteries would also be mounted low (but I'm not sure how low). There would be a center diff and a slipper clutch like I'm using in my Revo ("slipperential"). Overall it should be lighter than most Savage conversions since it wouldn't have the super heavy transmission, although the extra chassis pieces would add some extra weight.

So, what do you guys think?
