RCM CRT .5 Extended Chassis

[Sammus]

Hi, instead of starting a new topic, I'll ask here (I don't think it will be a hijack will it? sorry if it is...)

Would it affect the RCM chassis rigidity or strength at all to cut another hole for the spur gear a bit more forward than what its got, so I can run the motor mount on the front diff carrier with the motor on the front left (where the fuel tank normally is)

I think this would be so much better for left/right balance, I would run a saddle pack type battery config at the back. I'm thinking 2 3s triangular A123 packs for 3s2p, or two 2s packs for 4s1p. I think the latter because its lighter, since now the F/R balance would be a little out.
