I dont know how I missed it either ?
I really like the layout, a 5000mah 5s and 1518 would be a great combo in that for the track. I'm thinking a aluminum top chassis plate might best tho because of that heavy motor sitting up kinda high will cause so much flex. IDK.

Was thinking the same thing but did not type it...Also, I believe an all aluminum chassis with that set up is a must. CF would also work and be a bit lighter but may be a little more brittle?

I hear ya Brian, I have a LST2 thats all CF and never missed a lick. With the extra lenth of only a inch I cant see a probem uness the CF qaulity is questionable.
I just sent a email to Xtreme for a quote on a 4mm CF XXl chassis with only the trans and 1 servo hole, I'll bet it'll still be a $100.00. Haven't made my mind up exactly what I want yet ?

Yea i'm going back to the lst trans for now though....at least until i find a better solution to mount up the e-maxx trans...

And my servo ended up getting drafted into my slash 4x4 so i need to find/buy another super torque servo for a single servo or i may just buy a couple of high torque savox's from amain and run 2 for now..
