Cool toy
Some nice improvements would be: an LSD for the rear and a 1.5 way LSD up front, and make it 1/10 scale (1/16 seems little small).
Are there major handling issues when running only one battery? It doesn't look like it can be mounted across the chassis for better weight distribution.

I like it...

It's actually closer to 1/12th scale. It's just built off of the 1/16th chassis. The first thing I would do with one is put some thicker diff fluid in it. I drove a standard Rally, and it spins the inside wheels alot. Running a single battery doesnt affect it too much, but it is noticeable.

Here is a pic of the bottom that clearly shows how 1 battery would really mess with weight distribution.

It's a good concept but 1/16th is too small now a 1/10 version I'd be all over it
