i saw get the clod buster axles use magnetic mayhems and build your own chassis out of 3/16 brake line or aliuminum plate.

south i saw someone else do that i think on rcrawler but they used 2 carbon fiber shock towers for the rc10gt and mounted the battary though the hole in the side so it was going sideways you might want to try moveing the battary there (help with a lower C of G i think)

have fun

or if your going to go for a more scale look go wit htlt or txt axles because tehy use a center tranny and 1 or 2 motors .. and if you want check out rccrawler.com but be warned there are a few Pr*cKs there.............
