Well you can still use it...the cut off piece. Pick up some spacers to place under cut off piece. Mark spacer holes on chassis, drill through chassis, countersink screws and drill through plastic and bolt together and done. Most hardware stores sell thick nylon spacers which would work perfectly. Just a thought

Well I got everything together today, I ended up using a piece of lexan and cut it the length of the chassis. I then drilled and tapped holes in locations that where already on the nitro chassis so i didn't have to drill my nice aluminum

I still used the Losi 8e Tray, but ground down the bottom to make it sit flush. Drilled and countersunk holes in the top to mount to my new piece of lexan. I then reused the esc shelf i had initially cut off and used some nylon spacers i had and made a nice little shelf for it.

I tried to tidy up my wires and routing a little bit, It still needs a little work but it should do for now. I added a foam block in my battery tray so i could play with the weight placement a little bit, idk if I'll ever really need to but its nice to have it there just in case!

It's kinda hard to see all that i did but it came out really well, i do feel with the 5s 5k-mah battery it favors that side a lot...Maybe if i get a bigger motor it will help balance it out a bit.
