This a build I am developing actively. I have designed and prototyped a custom frame, and I am on v4. This design integrates a 20 degree angle of the skid plate and transmission, and increases length. My plan is to make it our of fiberglass or g10 diy, and maybe eventually market it. I have also developed a servo mount that goes side by side to the battery. The battery would be strapped down or Velcro and that would push more weight over the axle and remove space from the main enclosure. The goal is a 60 to 40 weight bias front to rear, and I believe this will accomplish this if not more. I have counter balanced the mount and so the mounting point is in the middle of the mass, so the bias side to side stays equal. I will be upgrading to brushless, going with the Furitek Mini Komodo Unity 2n1 since it’s a combo that saves space and money. Then I will be getting a radio link transmitter and recievr. I will also be purchasing M2 threads so I can make my own links that accommodate for the extended frame . I will also be making a modified drive shaft that has a hanging bearing or intermediate step as to make the drive shaft angle not as severe. This project is decently budget aswell so far coming in at 180 plus or minus a bit. I wanted to share and croud source some feedback before moving ahead, as there are a lot of offly smart people on this sub. I am open to all criticism and feedback. I wanna improve!

Oh also I will likely stage it out and get the HardparkRC outlaw 1.3 or even 1.8 wheels at some stage, simply a money thing. And the roof and other components like stabilizer and such will be 3d printed and are not modeled in Fusion yet.
