Successful buggy conversion!

It weights around 8.5 lbs.

Yeah, the high-mounted motor wasn't the ideal setup. Mike wanted to mount the motor to one side of the diff and use a 4s pack on the other side. This would have made for a nice balance and everything would fit on the chassis. However, this would have required moving the center diff and machining custom center shafts which I didn't want to do. This setup works pretty well once I stiffened the rear a little to compensate for the added rear weight of the batteries.
