Bottom - this was the original design. since having one printed and being able hold it and see it i have refined it a tad.slot type waterfall
Middle - more refined still version. have changed the waterfall brace to hinge type think they are way more user friendly. again 2 versions Hi and low for the many lipos we have today .
Top - Hinged. After some comments from Northy, Decided to make a hinged version so either. the waterfall can hinge or a direct battery brace could hinge.

Hi Liam,
Would you tell me your thoughts why a hinged waterfall seems to be more userfriendly?
And please keep us updated if it was the right decision to go with it.
How did the "holes"/bearing seats come out at 3d printing? Did the fit in nicely, are the too tight in there or too loose? Did you have to rework them?
And how did your figure out the hight of the centre of the slipper spindle? Did you "copy" the hight by existing low cg gearboxes for diffrent cars?
Or did you figure it out on your own? How much space for a bigger pinion did you leave? And how much space from the eadge of the pinion to the chassis did you leave? Cause there might be a slight movement or diffrent tolerances.
Sorry for the lot of questions.
Cheers
Till
