"Quick" change battery system

I'm no engineer but I see this as removing part of the structure of the chassi...
right in the center where it takes most of the abuse.

Actually it takes little to no abuse in the center(think of transmission holes on 4wd vehicles, they never fail at the tranny). Most all chassis failures are at the bulks where the front and rear of the vehicle attatch. But that won't matter in the design I'm using. It should be ready middle of next week. The chassis will remain just as rigid as factory and should have a lower COG if I build it right. I knocked all the hard stuff out tonight, all that is left is finding the proper hardware for the job.

I guess if you brace from the front and rear bulkheads to the Center diff mount it would be ok. but without this brace I would think that the chassi will bend right at the CD, where most of the weight is located. I say this cuse even in the stock nitro form they use chassi stiffening braces right neer the center of the chassi.
The E-maxx is a totaly different design and uses a chanel type chassi with the skidplate to chassi brace, to help stiffen the over all chassi.

Notice the brace behind the fule tank, and I think there is one under the radio tray too.

Opps. I stand corrected,I didn't realize the Losi XXT has a channle typ chassi.
Yes I believe your idea is neer perfect for this aplication.

I was thinking of a truggy type flat chassi.
