They are photos so it remains to be see how easy a lipo will fit - you can't judge it until we know exactly what the situ is.
Not sure what you mean about the chassis? Yokomo actually went to a 1 piece chassis. The B4 has a 2 piece chassis as do the other popular cars. This has a 1 piece chassis, with side pods for the electrics. So unless I missed something this is closer to your 'ideal' than any other competitive 2WD around?.
