My Losi 8T Tekno Conv.-Modified for low CG

[himalaya]

Hi all,
I just finish my second bashing on my newly built Tekno Losi 8ight-T, I love it so much and think I should share some with you.

The idea is to achive lowest possible CG. Major modification is the Lipos' layout. Two 6S 25C 2.6Ah LiPo packs are layed in line at left side, right above the chassis, no tall battery in a small tray. To do this I customized a fiberglass epoxy board to make a long battery deck.

Radio box, mechanical brakes and clutch are left unused.
Tekno's design put the ESC on left-front side, results in unacceptablly long motor wires.

I moved my MMM to the right, it was inserted between the motor and receiver, just a perfect fit, like it was originally designed that way. (it's where brake servo locates in Tekno's design)
The Two 6S 2.6Ah battery was connected in parallel to get a 5.2Ah capacity, while lowering current stress on each wire by 1/2 and heat generated to 1/4.
Does the CG look low?
