Instead of using a longer turnbuckle for the rear chassis brace, how about moving it to the outside of the mount. I know the mounting screw won't be double shear then, but it is only for onroad. Although if you have a longer turnbuckle lying around... Looks nice though, never knew Hot Bodies made a 1/7, thanks for sharing.
Hey James. Your setup looks pretty clean to me and practical to. The only issue I see so far is the battery center diff gear spacing. I will assume that you plan on using a battery tray of some kind to keep them from coming into contact with each other. That could be one ugly incident. Looks good James.
