i basically copied one of the designs on here with that little aluminum brace. the rest i though of myself. i dont really have a reason for this but i wanted to try the mid motor and i still have all my original parts so this is completely reversible.

i havent tried it on a track yet but it runs well on my street and survived jumping speed bumps and flipping over.

the ghetto plastic battery strap will be changed to an aluminum one if i decide to keep this mod, i just wanted to get it done quick so i made a cheap one.

i also redid 2 of my packs into a new shape

awsome, mid motor 2wd must be the wayforward.. they feel soo much better than a normal 2wd car.. my 2wd racing has come on alot more since racing with the x-6..

i cannot fault the car one bit.... :)

i wanted to try that modifacation on my old losi xxx but didnt want to gut a ok car, plus i never had enough spares to put it back right if i made an ass of it..
keep us updated how it goes on the track ;)

got to race this thing today and im pretty happy with it. nothing broke and it handeled nicely jumping evenly and being pretty good in the turns. i didnt get too much forward traction though and kept spinning out, a day of setting up and testing would help that though possibly even softer springs in the rear.

i found it pretty good on bumps but the side of the tires were hooking and i was driving on 2 side wheels at times. but i cant really blame it on the car because my shocks are missing about half the oil and the seals kept leaking alot. also as i said above i havent had a chance to tune it yet but so far as it was it handeled better than my original xxx.
